remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
"make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU

top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation.

testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated

offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
