I just pushed a change to the build-infra forest that imlements the 
following:
make test TEST="jdk_lang jdk_misc"

That is, I added a new target "test" which, basically, calls the 
ROOT/test/Makefile with suitable variables to fit the new build. Also, 
if you specify the variable TEST, the contents of this will be used as 
targets to call in the ROOT/test/Makefile. You can specify zero, one or 
more such test targets; for multiple targets you need to enclose them in 
quotes. If you don't specify any TEST value, the result is the same as 
running the default target on the test Makefile.

Do you think this sounds like a good solution?
