It appended something like this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Stage: test
Name: test-all
Trace: Makefile:319: recipe for target 'check-doit' failed
make[2]: Leaving directory '/builds/emacs/emacs/test'

So it is some information that stage test has failed, but it shows only
the Makefile output, and not the more informative test summary. That
doesn't help.
