+Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix py-compile-basedir.sh: missing "test"
+
+Prompted by a patch from Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org>,
+via https://lists.gnu.org/r/automake-patches/2022-01/msg00001.html:
+commit v1.16.1-26-gb279a0d46 ("tests: in python tests, do not
+require .pyo files (for python3)") was missing a `test` call.
+Reported to Gentoo at https://bugs.gentoo.org/715040.
+* t/py-compile-basedir.sh: Rather than just adding the missing
+"test", rewrite using a case statement, to avoid some duplication.
