| Test ouput is of big and of little use when debugging build problems.

For that you want a separate "check" make target.  Not suppress the
output from regression test.

Nobody is advocating non-mechanical check -- if fact I can't even
think of a systematic regression test for Axiom that is NOT done
mechanically.
