OK, that works as a stopgap.

Hydra will do it for you:
http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk

It's a nice service, although it has a few too many false build failures
(full disk, missing dependency, some other glitch, etc).

I don't understand. Not being used at runtime means they should go in
test/, like every other test file (including gnus-test.el).

They are no use at all in Emacs if they rely on parts of Gnus that are
not present though (whatever gnus-load is).


Also (my pet peeve) the license headers are obviously wrong in two of
them:

  ;; This file is not part of GNU Emacs.
  [...]
  ;; If not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin
  ;; Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.

The modern version uses a URL instead of a street address.
