Thx. Just FYI: I did a more elaborate search. It's described here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Parallel-Test-Harness.html

Starts at bottom of page with sentence "In order to guarantee an
ordering ". But I tried it and it does not work. Just if you are
curios, this is the patch:

https://github.com/rgerhards/librelp/commit/e45a8656e59cb708c3b29e9ef0a3ac47ac6aab55

Travis result:
https://www.travis-ci.org/rgerhards/librelp

Even if it would work, it would be way to clumpsy for a beast as
complex as the rsyslog testbench, where we enable and disable various
tests depending on configure options selected. I guess it would also
not work when TESTS="xxx" is used as the tests on which xxx then
depends would not be executed.

in conclusion, this looks like the only decent way to handle it for such cases.
