I think it just means that the regression tests have failed at some
point since the last time you cleaned out your tree.  Those files
don't get removed on a successful make check, do they?

The reason I assumed we'd want to ignore these is because they're
automatically generated files - unlike *.rej files, which are never
going to end up in your tree as a result of make anything.  It doesn't
actually matter that much to me in practice, except that I fear
creating a complex and indecipherable rule about what to ignore vs.
not.
