That would mean making GNU Make a > requirement for testing (which IMO, should be OK). FWIW, this would be awesome. I am not sure about forcing the dependency on GNU Make for the testing (this would be OK by me, but maybe someone has a case against), but defaulting to FORCE_PARALLEL=1 would be a step forward, indeed. While hacking our testsuite to implement a way to verify the racy tests we have, I could see how the fact that each test has its own directory makes a difference.
