I suspect it strongly depends on the Makefile.  However, especially
when running checks, there may be implicit (unthinking) assumptions
that only one test runs at a time.  For example, if tests use the same
scratch directory, they're fine one at a time, but could easily get
into trouble with more than one at a time.
