There are a number of tests which execute shell code blocks in
test-ob.el.  This file has no guards, so it will be run on every system.
I guess at the time I wrote these tests I assumed that every system
would support both emacs-lisp and sh code blocks.

At some point either

1. all tests in test-ob.el which run sh code blocks should be placed
   behind conditional guards so they are only loaded when shell support
   is present

2. all tests in test-ob.el which run sh code blocks should be switched
   to running emacs-lisp code blocks

Best,
