Yes, or even better, accumulate a list of failures, and rerun them
capturing a verbose log, like autoconf does.

Attached below is the output of

        env VERBOSE=x TESTS='man2.test' make -e check

on the NetBSD 1.6 system.  It isn't clear to me what is going wrong
here: there isn't an obvious problem report that I can spot in the
output.

For reference, on this system, we have
