Description:
The 5.5 Manual still says

"To run the test suite on your system after a build, type make test from the source root directory, or change location to the mysql-test directory and type ./mysql-test-run.pl."

( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-test-suite.html )

In reality "make test" only runs the ctest unit tests (all 12 of them) and not the full mysql-test-run suite

How to repeat:
try "make test" on 5.5

to run the full test suite you need to do "cd mysql-test; ./mysql-test-run.pl ..." manually now ...

Suggested fix:
restore old behavior, or at least clarify in the manual

Thank you for the problem report. I've also noted this some time ago while checking another bug...

Changes to test suite. No changelog entry needed.
