We patch your sources mainly because[1], I will be happy to stop autoreconf your
packages, but cannot do this until this and other issues are resolved.
OK, someone already tried to solve it at your side:
tests/Makefile.am
- Force sequential run of some tests. bench-slope.log: benchmark.log hashtest-256g.log: bench-slope.log
However, from automake manual:
In order to guarantee an ordering between tests even with make -jN, dependencies
between the corresponding .log files may be specified through usual make
dependencies. For example, the following snippet lets the test named
foo-execute.test depend upon completion of the test foo-compile.test:
TESTS = foo-compile.test foo-execute.test
foo-execute.log: foo-compile.log
Please note that this ordering ignores the results of required tests, thus the
test foo-execute.test is run even if the test foo-compile.test failed or was
skipped beforehand. Further, please note that specifying such dependencies
currently works only for tests that end in one of the suffixes listed in
TEST_EXTENSIONS.
Removing the above makes all works in parallel without specific order, which is
nice... unsure why the above was added when there is no real dependency, and
prior to automake-1.13 there was no parallel anyway.
