It looks like it's just tst-codeset, tst-gettext3 and tst-gettext5 which
conflict on ${objpfx}domaindir/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/codeset.mo
Changing the .sh file to look like:
(
flock 200
[ generate data & run test ]
) 200>${objpfx}lockfile
In each of the three tests seems to do the trick. Similarly creating a
dependency in the Makefile where tst-gettext3.out depends on
tst-codeset.out and tst-gettext5.out depends on tst-gettext3.out works
just as well.
The right answer is to have makefile rules to generate .../codeset.mo
and have each of those .out targets depend on the file directly.
With that, it looks like these tests won't need shell script wrappers at
all, just the vanilla pattern rule should dtrt.
