I see from https://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html that it's possible to run 
tests in parallel. I get the impression from gcc/Makefile that the check 
concerned has to be set up in the Makefile (in my build tree, configured with 
--target=x86_64-apple-darwin16 
--enable-languages=c,c++,ada,fortran,objc,obj-c++ , I see both lang_checks and 
lang_checks_parallelized set empty). So, is it necessary for check-ada or 
check-acats to cope with being run in parallel (i.e., will they ever see 
GCC_RUNTEST_PARALLELIZE_DIR set?)

Also in https://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html, under what circumstances would a 
test report ERROR (the testsuite detected an error) or WARNING (the testsuite 
detected a possible problem)? For example, if a particular test that should 
compile & run has a build error, is that a FAIL or an ERROR?
