This indicates that one of the dependencies of the toplevel tests target 
failed (most likely because a test in a subdirectory failed to build; test 
execution failures won't cause this unless you use 
stop-on-test-failure=y).  If a dependency fails, the commands for that 
target (which produce the summary) won't run.

You may wish to stop using -k now that only build failures not execution 
failures will stop a test run, and so have the test run fail immediately 
if a build failure does happen.
