I definitely think it's worth trying to figure out a reasonably well functioning way to automate this dependency as Magnus is trying to suggest. People in general expect make targets to have proper dependencies. If you change something and run `make test...` you expect the relevant part of the build to rerun before starting the tests. Having to remember to run multiple things in order leads to mistakes.
