Compiling during make-check may confuse things; we don't want make-check
to produce build artifacts. Although I guess you could skip the later
compilation steps. Also then we could add -fanalyzer on gcc which I have
done in a test project[1]. Possibly Clang has something similar,
hhmmmm...

Probably this would require different flags on GCC and Clang. We could
also run both GCC and Clang if they are present. It's probably worth
experimenting with.
