[issue11452] Test suite not symlink-install clean

[Steffen Daode Nurpmeso]

New submission from Steffen Daode Nurpmeso <sdaoden at googlemail.com>:

I'm now using a completely brain-damaged way to have two 3.x python(1)s
installed: symlinks; i.e. 3.2rc2 is ~/usr/opt/.py-3.2rc2 and tip is
~/usr/opt/.cpython.  Whenever i need to test the thing i'm working on
in my free time with the old version i'm temporarily replacing a
~/usr/opt/py3k symlink (which points to .cpython otherwise).
(I'm doing this because only py3k is in $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc.,
but like i said...)

I don't know if you consider this to be misbehaviour, but a
moment ago i've run the test suite on an installed python(1) tip
and got these symlink-path is not --prefix-path related errors,
just if anyone is concerned (stripping output a bit):
