You should be able to avoid all that output by not setting VERBOSE.
Typically, all you will see with a plain 'make check' is:
  PASS: testabc
  PASS: testxyz
  XFAIL: testfoobar
  ...

The spurious FAIL outputs you get when verbosely running check4.test
originate in the fact that the check4 test tests testsuites: it ensures
that failing tests are marked as such, for example.  So that output is
there on purpose, so to say.

If you get verbose output on 'make -e check', then consider unsetting
the environment variable VERBOSE.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
