I'm not sure I understand what your question means. I know that "FTBFS"
means "failed to build from source", but that is not a term we use in
the Git project. So if you are asking whether "make test" will exit
non-zero if a single test fails, then yes.

If you're asking whether a Debian package would consider that an FTBFS,
then probably yes, but it depends on whether they run the tests.
