+ distlinksbrk.test: Work around botched "make -k".
+ * tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
+ its output each time for a single error message, rather than
+ running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
+ all the expected error messages. This should work around make
+ implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
+ information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:
+ - 2010-11-15, "Testsuite failures on HP-UX 11.23",
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00162.html>
