This isn't a desirable approach, because in general you're not going to be sharing the git checkout between build jobs in the pipeline. You can selectively publish data from one stage to another, but we don't really want to publish the entire build dir output, which is what would be required to split off the build & check stages.

The main benefit for having them separate is to make it easier to view the logs to see what part failed. GitLab has a mechanism for publishing artifacts, and the GNOME projects use this to publish their unit tests results in junit format IIUC. If we can get something like this wired up then we can solve the problem if making it easy to view test failures as a distinct thing from general build failures.
