Full-blown xfstests doesn't have /that/ much in the way of deps,
on debian it's ostensibly just:

                sudo apt-get install xfslibs-dev uuid-dev libtool-bin \
                e2fsprogs automake gcc libuuid1 quota attr libattr1-dev make \
                libacl1-dev libaio-dev xfsprogs libgdbm-dev gawk fio dbench \
                uuid-runtime

and lots of that might not be needed for non-fs tests.

Otherwise well, you do need bash ... ;)
