Yes, I would.  IIRC we fixed all but one test failure (vala4.test)
in the git tree, and all fixes were changes to the Automake test suite
only, so the failures haven't yet uncovered issues in Automake code
that users would use.  The vala4 issue looks like an arcane shell oddity
with 'set -e' and traps and calling another shell script, but I still
haven't fully understood it yet.

Cheers,
Ralf
