Hi,

Guile has one meta-test runner that prints things on stdout as it goes.
It works well with serial-tests but parallel-tests hides the output,
which is not so nice.

Anyway we have added serial-tests to the options; fine.  However this
prevents Guile from autoreconfing with automake 1.11 (option
`serial-tests' not supported).  Is there a
backwards-and-forwards-compatible way of requesting serial tests?

Thanks,

Andy

I hope this discussion on the same topic might help:

  <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-01/msg00051.html>

If not, feel free to continue the discussion here.  I'm closing the
bug report automatically opened by your mail in the meantime, because
yours is a (legitimate) question rather than the report of an Automake
bug.

Regards,
  Stefano
