buildroot is just many makefiles and a little bit of kconfig ;). Should be possible to figure out the exact rule it calls for building (verbose mode?), and maybe you only need to tell it to not run package tests? But if here is something in addition that causes the tests to be built, we can still merge this here. I just want to understand the reason better.
