[LLVMdev] make check rebuilds the project?

[Reid Kleckner]

FWIW, the cmake build has the "check" target depend on the binaries under test.

I would 100% recommend it for that reason, but one thing to note is
that ninja buffers subprocess output.  Usually this is good because
you can avoid interleaved diagnostics from multiple source files, but
it means "ninja check" buffers lit's output until it's done.  That's
OK for me when I'm doing final testing for a change, but it means it's
not quite a drop-in replacement for "make check".
