My fault -- I wasn't careful, I am sorry!  I think you understood me
this way: the command "make" generates the test scripts, and "make -k
check" runs the test scripts.  In this case then let us execute "make"
to safely build the test scripts (without the "-k" option), and then
execute "make -k check" to run the test scripts.

I should have written: "My test scripts are automatically generated by
the Make software (not the "make" command) and then run".  Actually,
the scripts are both generated and run by "make check".


Best,
Irek
