How is adding 'make check' as a non-failing step going to break
anything? Just only add it to the 'fast' builders, or put it on a
separate periodic (non-gerrit) build schedule.

Asking people to manually run the tests doesn't scale well, if there are
a bunch of things to fix and we keep asking them to try new patches.
