I was referring to the places where we are dumping the testlog.txt like this:

 make --output-sync -j`nproc` check
   || { cat meson-logs/testlog.txt; exit 1; }

See .gitlab-ci.d/custom-runners/* or .gitlab-ci.d/windows.yml for example. I 
assume it should be ok to switch to "tail" instead of "cat" there?
