"It won't execute" is a totally non-informative problem report. You
should have copy&pasted a few lines from your Linux shell session
showing the command you typed (trying to invoke the newly built John)
and the output you received (from which you concluded that it "won't
execute"). May I point you right to the first question/answer on the
FAQ, though? -
http://www.openwall.com/john/doc/FAQ.shtml
Did it help? If not, then please report the problem properly as I've
explained above.

The John binary executable on Unix-like systems is called just "john",
not "john.exe". No, you do not need anything special to execute it.

No, it is "supported" (although it did not require any special support).

Yes. It limits those tests to plain C code, though. It does not try to
figure out your architecture and pick one of the assembly files.
