Hi Stacey,

I am not sure if I fully understand your question, but I'll try to answer...

cmocka is a test harness for running unit tests. Hence, it is only used in the unit tests
(that's also true for 9.18 and 9.20). As for the production - that doesn't really matter
as libcmocka is not linked to any of the product binaries, just the unit tests.

So, it is up to you as the package maintainer whether you want to run the unit tests
as part of the package building process.

As a matter of fact, I recently did that (with my Debian Developer hat on) for the Debian
packages and I've discovered some tests that need to be disabled on architectures with
small stack.
