Summary: "make check" does not abort if test errors occurred

Initial Comment:
Automated build system used by distributors such as Gentoo, ArchLinux, or NixOS assume that "make check" returns with a non-zero error code if tests failed. Maxima doesn't seem to do that, however. I just got a test failure (reported a minute ago), but the build process just went on without signalling the problem. This is bad, because it means that test failures will go unnoticed. I just noticed this one more or less by coincidence.
