Convenience is subject to interpretation :-).
Other CI systems send a single report which is more sane for me.

Just to be sure.
By this, you mean that you have some dpdk headers installed on the CI
system in /usr?

Having those headers most likely exacerbates races with dpdk headers
copy in the building directory.
This could be where my series failed.
