While testing in the 'gc_massacre' branch, I began to notice the
following phenomenon: If I ran 'make' and 'make test' (or 'make smoke')
as separate commands, I would notice a few 'make' commands being
executed *before* the first test file ran:
[parrot] 504 $ makesmolderparrot.pl parrot
make -C docs
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make -C docs
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
./parrot -o t/pmc/testlib/annotations.pbc t/pmc/testlib/annotations.pir
./parrot -o t/pmc/testlib/number.pbc t/pmc/testlib/number.pasm
/usr/local/bin/perl t/harness --gc-debug --archive --send-to-smolder
t/configure/001-options.t ................... ok
I had never experienced this in several years of testing Parrot.
Investigating, I saw that this was the result of recent changes in
config/gen/makefiles/root.in. Here is a section of 'svn annotate' for
that file as of r49301:

the tests.
48561 NotFound test_prep : all pbctestfiles
Can anyone describe why we are including 'pbctestfiles' in 'test_prep'
but not in 'all'?
Thank you very much.
