Hmm, is that a good thing in general?  Can't makefile rules be arranged in
such a way that one "valgrind-prep" target runs before all the potentially
parallel executions of actual tests begin?

Independent from the above, I suspect that some of the existing tests
cannot run in parallel; I haven't really looked at any of them, but a
server-ish tests to open a local port and test interaction with client
obviously need to either use different ports or serialize.  Perhaps we
need a way to mark some tests that cannot be run in parallel even under
"make -j"?
