79	bzip2 32-bit is not tested in multilib	ken	ken	"At some point we changed to 'make libbz2.a' instead of 'make' for the 32-bit libraries because it creates all we need.  The text still says ""Recompile the package using a non-shared library and test it."" which has confused at least one builder, because the tests are not run. The Makefile says
{{{
all: libbz2.a bzip2 bzip2recover test
}}}

 The test target depends on the static bzip2.

Although I like running tests, I'm ambivalent about the bzip2 tests, because as it is shipped they only test the static code.  It seems to be there are three choices:

1. Change the text to omit ""and test it"".

2. revert to make CC=... CXX=... without a target, so that all the targets are compiled and executed (this wastes marginal time compiling bzip2recover).

3. If people want to test, add a mention of ""make CC=... CXX=... test""
