Are you talking about:

 * Failures because there is a syntax error in the test script

 * Failures of the test itself, because the generated Buildroot system
   doesn't behave as expected

To be honest, I don't think the unittest stuff is bringing us that much
stuff, so we could just as well roll our own "test runner", giving us
more freedom in our errors are handled and reported.
