+       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:
