True, but... hopefully we are making sure t/helpers/ has been built in some other ways, though, right? I do not offhand see how tests would work in a pristine checkout with "cd t && sh t0000-*.sh" as t/test-lib.sh is not running $(MAKE) itself (and the design of the test-lib.sh, as can be seen in the check this part of it makes, is to just abort if we cannot test) with this patch (and PATCH 1/5) under the test-installed mode, though.
