I have just update gitlab runner, please see https://gitlab.com/frantony/barebox-gitlab-ci-runner/-/commit/f90c3932f1e90f900c4d4304c6a54898a5ee0e1e

As a result runner can build barebox for openrisc architecture and run emulate.pl, see
https://gitlab.com/frantony/barebox/-/pipelines/464224894

There is a problem with emulate.pl for MIPS (see https://gitlab.com/frantony/barebox/-/jobs/2058215656).

log/mips/console_main artifact contains the fragment:

---- begin ----
Hit any to stop autoboot:    3
barebox at qemu malta:/ echo "YGIS""XTJCSB"
YGISXTJCSB
barebox at qemu malta:/ echo -o /cmd 'cat /env/data/config'; echo "EOVL""SAWCFS"; sh /cmd; echo "EOVL""SAWCFS" $?;
EOVLSAWCFS
could not open /env/data/config: No such file or directory
EOVLSAWCFS 1
barebox at qemu malta:/ echo -o /cmd selftest; echo "BOCZ""OJHGFV"; sh /cmd; echo "BOCZ""OJHGFV" $?;
BOCZOJHGFV
printf: all 116 tests passed
progress_notifier: all 12 tests passed
BOCZOJHGFV 0
barebox at qemu malta:/
---- end ----

there is a problem: "could not open /env/data/config: No such file or directory"

How we can pass error to gitlab runner? Now runner reports that there is no error.

I suppose gitlab itself can send e-mails on CI pipeline fail.
