I agree, something should be done.
I'd rather model this on the way that named locale support was done than
as with your patch, however.
Ie, make a function, use it instead of mkfifo in the test, and if a
particular target can't hack it, just exit silently. I'd rather exit and
mark the test as unsupported, but I cannot figure out how to do that,
however.
