That's the
@if [ -z "$(filter-out --target_board=%,$(filter-out --extra_opts%,$(RUNTESTFLAGS)))" ] \
            && [ "$(filter -j, $(MFLAGS))" = "-j" ]; then \
i.e. if you specify anything in RUNTESTFLAGS other than --target_board= or
--extra_opts, it is not parallelized.  This was done previously because
parallelization required setting the flags to something different (manually
created *.exp list).  The first [] could

Yes, this is very inconvenient, especially in the light of -v in the runtestflags which should certainly not prohibit parallel execution.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg00997.html
for how I would fix that.. (findstring empty instead of filter-out).

TIA,

perhaps be removed now, if one e.g.
RUNTESTFLAGS=atomic.exp etc. with sufficiently enough tests, parallelization
will be still worth it.  I've been worried about the quick cases where
parallelization is not beneficial, like make check-gcc \
RUNTESTFLAGS=dg.exp=pr60123.c or similar, but one doesn't usually pass -jN
in that case.  So yes, the
[ -z "$(filter-out --target_board=%,$(filter-out --extra_opts%,$(RUNTESTFLAGS)))" ]
can be dropped (not in libstdc++ though, there are abi.exp and
prettyprinters.exp still run serially, though even that could be handled the
struct-layout-1.exp way, of running it by the first instance to encounter
those with small changes in those *.exp files).
