 Note that the command and it's corresponding results don't need to show consecutively on stdout because tests are run in parallel. You just have to match them based on the class name `CircleBufTest` to the file `circlebuf.test.cpp`.

-but TODO: those require magic blobs on `M5_PATH` that we don't currently automate.
+TODO skip the build by default with `--skip-build` since we already manage it with `./build-gem5`. But we can't do this because it is the build step that downloads the test binaries. We need to find a way to either download the binaries without building, or to pass the exact same scons build options through `test/main.py`.
