Hi,
you are absolutely right, I will rework the patch.

Thank you

will it handle running the testsuite with parallel make? In that case the

I'm not sure having two parallel runs append to the same file from the
shell is safe, though it may be in practice.

I'd suggest that you generate a .test-status or similar file for each test
with its result - and then collect all the data at the end with a separate
script that produces the summary from all those files in the build tree.
That also looks like it will work better if someone does

make check
(a test fails because of an old kernel)
make check
(to continue the test run)

rather than producing a summary of only the results from the second part
of the run.
