No, there isn't a way currently. I agree with Dennis that we do want to
ultimately fix the flaky tests, but at the same time, it does seem
reasonable to use a partial test run for your profile results.

I suspect you'd need to switch the call to:

  $(MAKE) PROFILE=GEN -j1 -k test || true

to make it best-effort.

I can't reproduce any problems with raciness there, but there is a known
problem with running the script as root (which I guess you might be
doing from your "make prefix=/usr" call). There's some discussion in
http://public-inbox.org/git/20161010035756.38408-1-jeremyhu@apple.com/T/#u,
but it looks like the patch stalled.
