There are some issues with the following, with sometimes tests being skipped and/or sometimes output being misaligned.
(cd tests && make -j2 check TESTS="misc/stty misc/stdbuf misc/stat-birthtime misc/stty-row-col" VERBOSE=yes) That's because gnu make in parallel mode, will give a single one of its worker processes the controlling tty. Also if misc/stty does actually run, the fact that it messes with the current tty, breaks the output alignment at least. This isn't a major issue really. and I'm not sure how to address it. Perhaps we could split the "tty" tests, to a separate Makefile containing .NOTPARALLEL ? Perhaps we could make them actually support parallel mode, by using expect or something? cheers, Pádraig.
