(e) File a bug report for the defect and don't switch on testing for
    it until it will be fixed.

Ideally 'make distcheck' should never fail. This is a requirement
for new releases by convention and we should allow a new release
at any time. Imagine a developer has made some changes and left
the project, died, married at last... and nobody understands how to
fix her Scheme/Python/Haskell code ;)

Cheers,
