Details:

OpenEmbedded is carrying a patch to add an option to autotest scripts that
changes their output format to match the output of automake test suites.  This
was presumably easier than teaching some higher-level script to parse both
formats.  Reasonable enhancement request but not for 2.70, and I think we
should have a discussion with the automake team about converging automake test
support with autotest.

The switch they added is spelled -A / --am-fmt.
