It runs the normal build and make check but in the Travis build
environment. Essentially the .travis.yml is just a bunch of alternative
configure invocations, there is nothing to stop you manually setting up
a build with TARGET_LIST and EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTS which is what I do if
there is a particular Travis test which is failing.
