It might if it fails reliably, but in OpenEmbedded builds where I was seeing this in some CI builds it failed in about 1% of the builds, which is enough to make the failure annoying and if this is meant to be expected behavior than not failing reliably, for context see: https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/?id=e8a1c9823b7e55dd2ca7f19a3fd3a05ae676bfe2 so here it calls make in do_compile task (defined in autotools-brokensep), then make install in do_install task and do_install was failing _sometimes_, and I haven't seen single failure since this change was applied. I'm not very familiar with xfstests, I wasn't even building it intentionally (it's just part of one CI job which builds everything available), so I might be missing something. Regards,
