Indeed, that would explain the results.

If I'm right that I've already seen the results, they do now seem
normal.

No problem -- I figured it was better to ask than to assume it was SEP
(Somebody Else's Problem).
And, you might be right that testing should be done of only enabled
languages. But I don't know much about the test infrastructure -- there
might be good reasons for it to test anything it finds sitting around.
In the meantime, if you configure with --prefix pointing to a fresh
directory each time, that might avoid the problem. I don't know.
(I usually configure a snapshot dated YYYYMMDD with
--prefix /develop/egcs/YYYYMMDD, it makes my life a lot easier.
But I don't enable/disable specific languages.)
