We have sorted out the main issue which was something is wrong with libqhull
on AltLinux. This caused segfaults each time example 21 was encountered
in the testing.  -DHAVE_QHULL=OFF works around this AltLinux issue.

The remaining issues Valery has found are an agg/freetype issue, a java
stdout issue for example 31, and the octave issue.

I actually find that agg/freetype works great on Debian testing for
wxwidgets.  (Werner was not aware of this before because he does not have
ready access to Linux.) So like the libqhull case, I ascribe that problem to
AltLinux.

We are still working on figuring out the Java stdout issue and the octave
issue.
