           Summary: "make check" succeeds even if tests failed
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: 6-1.9.7
          Platform: all
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea6
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: devurandom at gmx.net


Running "make check" exits with success code, even if tests failed.

To fix this I see two options:
1) Exit immediately when an error occurs
2) Continue to run all tests, but touch .errors-occured when a test fails and
end the "check-local" Makefile rule with "test ! -e .errors-occured"

I prefer 2, because it is close to the current behaviour in that all tests are
run unconditionally, and still simple to implement because it only adds a (few,
haven't looked at the code) touch and one test line.
