Details:

Tests/GNUmakefile has an obvious thinko which leads to some NSBundle tests to
fail, among others:

base/NSBundle/general.m:
Failed test:       general.m:76 ... -executablePath returns an executable path
(real bundle)
Failed test:       general.m:81 ... +bundleWithIdentifier returns correct
bundle


The second issue is when HOME is non-writable, non-existing directory.  This
test fails then:

base/Functions/NSGeometry1.m:
Failed test:     NSGeometry1.m:112 ... In MacOSX geometry compat mode


In a standard sbuild/buildd environment, stdin is redirected to /dev/null and
I believe this is the reason for these tests to fail:

base/NSRunLoop/performers.m:
Failed test:     performers.m:49 ...
-performSelector:target:argument:order:modes: only sends the message once
Failed test:     performers.m:65 ...
-performSelector:target:argument:order:modes: orders performers correctly
Failed test:     performers.m:89 ... -cancelPerformSelector:target:argument:
works

base/NSRunLoop/thread.m:
Failed test:     thread.m:193 ... A loop with an input source will block


And finally, network connection is not guaranteed to be available.

Attached is a patch that addresses some of these issues.
