"make -k -j8 check " is not particularly helpful (a) because it tests
gmp/mpfr/mpc every time (b) any redirected output is hard to scan for
problems.
What you're trying is far too complicated: just use -k -j<N> check
from
the toplevel and forget about the make check output, which, as you
say,
is interleaved and useless, just like the make -j<N> bootstrap output.
OK.
Instead, run make mail-report.log afterwards and check that.
Although, I note that contrib/test_summary only reports what gets into
the *.sum files -- i.e. tests that complete or timeout.
It doesn't log problems in the actual make process itself - to find
those one still has to trawl through the interleaved stuff.
It would be nice to allow the apparently independent targets [e.g. gcc-
c,fortran,c++ etc.] to be (explicitly) make-checked in parallel.
thanks,
Iain
