Or is is just that you don't want to test your changes?
In our case, we have pipelines that rebuild/repackage QEMU after a full
build+test, without running the test suite again. In those cases,
building the tests is wasted effort, and considerably increases the
overall build times.
The problem might be we build the tests by default but don't run them by
default.
That's fair, but I would argue that in that case, there should still be
some way to build the binaries without building and running the tests.
