It should be straightforward to move the tests of separate standards to
separate makefile targets, for which tests can run in parallel, instead of
looping over them in run-conformtest.sh. That way, when "make check" is
run with parallel make, the tests of separate standards could run in
parallel.
This also has the advantage that rather than ignoring errors in any of
these tests, the makefile could track that ISO and POSIX are expected to
pass but others may have expected failures.
With some more effort, it would also be possible to move the loop over
headers out of conformtest.pl, so that every (standard, header) pair is
tested independently and has independent expected-failure status.
