unitcheck is already done during plain "make" (which, in turn is also 
implicitly done by "make check" -- so the latter will re-do the 
unitchecks and additionally do the subsequentchecks, when run after a 
plain "make").  (And more or less the same for slowcheck; they are not 
implicitly run for a per-module "make" but just on a toplevel one, IIRC.)
