On modern multi-core processors "make test" is often run in multiple jobs.
If one of them fails the test run does stop, but the concurrently running
tests finish their run.

Somewhat related (or not). I change something. I know it breaks things
and want to know _all_ tests it breaks, but "make test" would stop
early. Is there anyway to make it keep going through all tests even if
some fails? "make -j<big number>" improves the situation but does not
really solve it.

Try "make -k", which will keep running rules that don't have failed
dependencies (in this case, all of the tests are independent, so it will
run all of them).

Or use "prove", which can do fancy things like putting the last-failed
(so you can see the likely failures immediately and start to probe them
while the rest of the suite runs).
