Yes.  jtreg was updated to follow the rules in the Makefiles.

Generally, there has been an ongoing effort over the last couple of 
years or more to be able to move crufty Makefile stuff into jtreg so 
that (a) the makefiles become simpler and (b) there is more commonality 
when running jtreg using either the Makefile or the command line. This 
effort started when Kelly started putting lots of "stuff" into 
test/Makefile, and now, thanks to Mike D, we are closing the loop, and 
replacing Makefile stuff by use of jtreg features.
