Unfortunately, changing the default in automake is not straightforward 
though this was my first option to consider.
(This imply reverting this commit and all depending commits: 
http://repo.or.cz/w/automake.git/commit/5e771b27e52cda72b1bfde18ed7a4f118fad24e0)
If my investigation is correct there are no more packages affected (in 
the same way) by the upgrade of automake.
This should be seen as a temporary fix until a proper fix will be added 
in automake so that ptest will work with parallel test harness.

Regards,
   Tudor.
