subdirs: don't return false positives for the '-k' option's presence This change fixes automake bug#12554. The old implementation of the code descending into $(SUBDIRS) entries used the following snippet to decide whether make is running with the '-k' a.k.a. '--keep-going' option, and thus whether a failure in a subdirectory should prevent the descent in the following ones: fail= failcom='exit 1'; \ for f in x $$MAKEFLAGS; do \ case $$f in \ *=* | --[!k]*);; \ *k*) failcom='fail=yes';; \ esac; \ done It's clear that the second pattern in the 'case' construct could possibly match false positives, for examples in these two cases: make check TESTS="x.test k.test" make -I /usr/local/kool-fragments which are somewhat unusual, but not invalid. So we need a more resilient implementation, as we did for the detection of the '-n' flag. This implementation is now provided by the new private macro '$(am__make_keepgoing)' (introduced in recent commits); so we can just us that to fix the bug. * lib/am/subdirs.am ($(am__recursive_targets)): Use '$(am__make_keepgoing)' instead of ad-hoc and more brittle checks. * t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove the now-passing test case 't/subdir-keep-going-pr12554.sh'.
