If you say "make check", the default ert selector is applied, which
excludes expensive tests. if you say "make FOO", all test from package
foo are applied, also the expensive tests. You see it by the different
numbers of tests, 47 vs 67 tests.

If you want to get a log file when running tests for package FOO, say
"make FOO.log". This seems to be broken now; will check.

All of this is described in test/README.

For the time being, I'll continue to reply here. If needed (more complex
failure, not reported initially here) we might need to create another
bug report.

Well, this time it is because of a different inode number, 41369843 vs
(631 . 16627). Will check what's up.

Grrr, the time stamps (0 1) and (0 1 0 0) are the same, but handled
differently internally. Fixed in master.

Ahh, the message on macOS is slightly different. Fixed in master.

These three errors are basically the same. Could you please apply the
following patch to tramp-tests.el, and show me the output? You might run

make -C test tramp-tests >tramp-tests.log 2>&1
