Description:
Found in local tests of the current "6.0-build" tree:

funcs_1.falcon__load           [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_bitdata         [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_cursors         [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_func_view       [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc      [ disabled ]  (changes of WL#2984, using storeproc_nn instead)
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc_02   [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc_03   [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc_06   [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc_07   [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc_08   [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'true'
funcs_1.falcon_storedproc_10   [ fail ]
           ### This will be reported separately: Test uses MyISAM

Build is done using "BUILD/compile-pentium-max".

The server claims to have support for Falcon:

===== ENGINES =====

FEDERATED       YES     Federated MySQL storage engine  NO      NO      NO

Falcon  YES     Falcon storage engine   YES     NO      YES
BLACKHOLE       YES     /dev/null storage engine (anything you write to it disappears)  NO      NO      NO

How to repeat:
Run the "funcs_1" suite,
for example by "make test-bt".

Suggested fix:
1) Is the letter case "Falcon" vs "falcon" significant ?
   "have_falcon.inc" uses the first,
   but "engine = ..." directives use the second spelling.

2) Does Falcon require some plugin to be installed ?
   "have_falcon.inc" has such a line, but it is commented.

--disable_query_log
# Ignore errors when trying to install the Falcon plugin
--disable_abort_on_error
# Install the plugin first. This should handle platform differences.
#install plugin falcon soname 'ha_falcon.so';
--enable_abort_on_error
--require r/true.require
select support = 'YES' or support = 'DEFAULT' as `TRUE` from information_schema.engines where engine = 'Falcon';
--enable_query_log

That was with a server missing falcon support. In general I think we should rewrite the "have_something.inc" files that does a require r/true.require since it's hard to know why it said "[skip} Requires true".

The proposed solution is to write something like:
if (!`SELECT count(*) FROM information_schema.engines WHERE
      (support = 'YES' OR support = 'DEFAULT') AND
      engine = 'Falcon'`){
  skip Need Falcon engine;
}

The would say "[skip] Need falcon engine" which is much easier to understand.

Trying to compile mysql-6.0-build with falcon to see why it does not work

The funcs1 suite have a suite.opt that turns off falcon
