That works as expected:

    Ran 31 tests, 31 results as expected, 0 unexpected (2020-04-26 
17:49:31+0200, 3.324151 sec)

But AFAICT that method of running the tests doesn't run the failing
test from "make check-all":

       FAILED  14/32  threads-join-error (0.000285 sec)

The summary for "make check-all" reads:

    Ran 32 tests, 31 results as expected, 1 unexpected (2020-04-26 
17:33:58+0200, 3.489824 sec)

(Note that there are 32 tests here instead of the 31 from above.)

Best regards,
