+       tests: fix spurious failure with FreeBSD make and Yacc in VPATH
+       * tests/subpkg.test: Some cosmetic adjustments.  Move the tests
+       checking that $(YLWRAP) is defined and installed properly when
+       ylwrap is in a default auxdir found in a parent package ...
+       * tests/subpkg-yacc.test: ... into this new test, which carefully
+       avoids to trigger the known bug#7884 (combo FreeBSD make plus Yacc
+       plus VPATH build).
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+ 
+       tests: avoid spurious failure in 'parallel-tests3.test'
+       This fixes automake bug#8788.
+       * tests/parallel-tests3.test: To ensure that the serial run of
+       the dummy testsuite is still ongoing when the parallel run has
+       terminated, use `kill -0', not a bare `kill'.  This will prevent
+       a testsuite crash on NetBSD 5.1, and a testsuite hang on FreeBSD
+       8.2.  Also, since we are at it, try harder to avoid possible
+       hangs of the script in other unusual situations.

+ 
+       tests: fix spurious failures with "chatty" make implementations
+       * tests/distcheck-missing-m4.test: On failure, some make
+       implementations (such as Solaris make) print the whole failed
+       recipe on standard output.  This was causing a spurious failure
+       in the checks grepping the output from make.  Work around this.
+       * tests/distcheck-outdated-m4.test: Likewise.
+ 
+ 2011-10-20  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+ 
+       tests: fix spurious failure on fast machines
+       * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Also remove the `configure'
+       script between different test runs, to ensure it is always remade
+       by autoconf.  Add proper explicative comments.

+ 
+       tests: avoid spurious failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Solaris
+       * tests/uninstall-fail.test: All the Solaris 10 shells (/bin/sh,
+       /bin/ksh, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh), upon failing to chdir to a
+       directory with the `cd' builtin, print a message like:
+         "sh: /root: permission denied"
+       which doesn't report the `cd' builtin anywhere.  Relax the grepping
+       of the error message accordingly.

 +
 +      tests: fix aclocal-print-acdir.test
 +      * tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: Adjust to pass.
