This is news to me. We used gmake -k at OV for our building and
testing and it always worked fine; we never implemented any special
hacks for itthat I am aware of. I thought -k was a common option on
standard makes, too.
If make -k doesn't work, then another solution is to change dejagnu
(or create a command-line arg) so that it exits with status zero even
when tests fail (after all, just because a test failed doesn't mean
that dejagnu did not execute succesfully). It would print a warning
(preceeded by *** perhaps), and the dejagnu summary would still list
the # of failures, which would be picked up by the summary-generating
perl script.
This would seem to be less effort than merging all the tests into a
single execution.
