I really liked this the first time I ran "make -j4 test". However, it
now cleans up the trash directory automagically after a successful run.
This bit me today when I added a test that should have failed but
accidentally passed. I wanted to look at the output, but it was gone.

Probably it's not worth worrying about, since that is certainly the less
common case, and I can work around it by editing the passing test script
to provoke failure. And I can't think of a more sane behavior. But I
wanted to register my slight "this new thing annoyed me" feeling.
