[ruby-core:112028] [Ruby master Feature#16012] Add a (small) test-install suite?

Issue #16012 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).


I'm considering this request again. I'll add small check into https://github.com/ruby/chkbuild.

----------------------------------------
At various times there has been discussion about whether testing should require `make install`.  Although I prefer to do testing using install (vs build), I see it as a choice, and not a requirement.

>From time to time various issues have arisen that cannot be found with 'build' testing.  Often, these issues cause CI test failure with master/trunk/ruby-head in external repos.  Sometimes people blame 'Core', other times Travis, or rvm.  Regardless, it doesn't look good.

So, might a small set of tests that check install functionality be added?  It may need to be two separate (but equivalent) scripts.  One for *nix, one for Windows.

In ruby-loco, I'm using a ps1 script to check that CLI bin files work.  As soon as the update is pushed here, I'll add a test for nested bundler commands...
