6 tests of test.test_regrtest.ProgramsTestCase class introduced in revision 3393d86c3bb2 (in Python >=3.6) fail with --without-threads, because they unconditionally use -j4 option, but -jN where N != 1 is not supported with --without-threads. They also use --timeout option, which is also not supported with --without-threads.
