I've tried running the tests using the command-line py.test script with version 4ddb3d71e2dfa557939bb99de4922151eb3bb06d of the core astropy repository:

git clone git://github.com/astropy/astropy.git astropy_testing
cd astropy_testing
cd astropy
py.test

If I do this, then 809 tests fail. I just wanted to check whether this is ok, or whether this should skip tests that can not be run without compiling (i.e. should it be mostly skipped tests rather than failures).
