That is unfortunatelly a major task...

It's even more subtle, there are more things to consider. The test
should be rebuild even if any of the headers it includes change, which
is not detected properly at the moment. For that to work first thing the
build system has to do is to generate a dependencies with $(CC) -MM and
then include them in the build system.
