Not realy, the theory says that the tests on Wine have always to
succeed. If not they should be enclosed by a todo_wine {}.
But that's the theory, the pratice tells that some of the tests are very
picky on the enviroment (X and audio drivers, fonts, history of the
$HOME/.wine directory). I've just run make test and it directly failed
in dlls/advapi32. On a second run it passed that test but failed
(permanently) in riched20/editor.c. After manualy touching editor.ok it
failed again in user/menu.c. As that tree is based on the mmbranch i'm
not digging deeper as i do not know if Mike runs the tests too before
commiting.

Get a Linux box and try it out yourself.

That makes it more work. As i said the tests should all pass on Linux
but i guess that happens only on Alexandre's box.
