What -u would you propose?

I don't like the expected-skip mechanism at all. Why does being Linux
(or HP-UX) has anything to do with whether we can run the
test_normalization test; that test is completely platform-independent.

Why is it expected that test_bz2 works on Linux? It won't work if you
don't have the libraries.

Instead, I would expect that test_bz2 works if the bz2 module is
present, and fails to work if it was not built. Likewise for
test_normalization: If a certain file is present, it should succeed,
otherwise, it should fail.

Regards,
Martin
