After working with dbus these days, I still prefer not build test in
'make all' stage but in 'make check' stage.

Always build test binaries will not leading the developer to run 'make
check' but do slow down the development cycle.

I always want to do 'make' to ensure the change compile fine, and then
run 'make check' to ensure the change doesn't break any test.

As common, one may need several times of change to make it pass compile,
so it may wastes a lot of time to build *not used* test binaries.
