Even if there was a standardized meaning to "make check", there are lots of 
packages that use completely differents systems for their building and testing. 
Hence there is no generic solution, we have to adapt each individual package 
manually.

Our proposal is focused on testing the target binaries on the target, in an 
attempt to limit complexity. Testing -native and -nativesdk packages is 
therefore outside this scope.

Yes, this proposal only works for tests that run on a single machine. But from 
what I have seen so far, that covers the vast majority of included package 
tests. Do you have examples to the contrary?

There will certainly be room and need for other catergories of tests, which is 
one reason I've used the specific "ptest" moniker for this. This is not 
intended to be a covers-all-bases test solution. It's just one part.
