No. Even when we fix the bugs, the tests will probably help coverage and
avoid regressions. The fixes should at least be ported back to 4.10 too.

Agreed for priority semaphores. Although I wonder if a better solution
exists that does not need strict LIFO p/v operations.

Ok. I stumbled on a compile error when turning on strict mutex. :(

I also noticed that sp36, which uses strict mutex, is disabled / missing
from Makefile.am.
