Subject: [ng] tests: remove some workarounds for non-GNU make
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf0c63d0a0233f20aef5fff4bf1bb33302276eca;p=thirdparty%2Fautomake.git

[ng] tests: remove some workarounds for non-GNU make

* t/makej2.sh: Adjust heading comments.  Don't check whether $MAKE
groks the '-j' option: GNU make is assured to do so.
* t/check-concurrency-bug9245.sh: Likewise.  Fix botched indentation
since we are at it.
* t/remake4.sh: Adjust heading comments.
* t/parallel-tests6.sh: Likewise.
* t/deleted-am.sh: Remove extra '$sleep' call required to work around
a bug of FreeBSD make.
* t/colon6.test: Remove a workaround needed by HP-UX make.
* t/spy.test: Likewise.  Uncomment the part of the checks that still
wasn't portable to BSD make.
