Well, I agree in general. But for C library tests, it's a bit annoying
when they are bundled with the C library source code itself. Indeed,
this prevents from building those tests in an external toolchain
scenario.

So I actually find having tests separate from the C library tarball a
nicer way, as it allows to package them very easily, and use them even
with external toolchains.
