I thought I was doing something wrong but I get the same behavior with 
other container tests, when I try to run a single test like so:

   $ ../configure --prefix=/usr
   $ make -j$(nproc)
   $ make test t=elf/tst-tunconf1

The testroot.pristine is not created in the build dir and the test fails 
with:

FAIL: elf/tst-tunconf1
original exit status 1
error: test-container.c:835: Cannot create testroot lock.


If I run the full 'elf' testsuite:

   $ make subdirs=elf check -j$(nproc)

Then the testroot.pristine is created, all the tests succeed and I can 
then run the single test successfully. I tried finding the missing 
dependency in the Makefiles but couldn't quite figure it out.

Anyway, other than that it works, so do you prefer a second version of 
the patch using tests-container for the rseq tests or is this simple one 
that only adds the reporting good enough?

Thanks,

Michael
