It will not be enough. $($(1)-bin) target is responsible for linking test
binary. $($(1)-objs) would also have to be extended to detect whether
a particular file failed to compile.

Thanks for the tip. It will come in handy.
I will try to find some time to extend unit-tests framework to support
tests compilation failures reports in coreboot and libpayload makefiles.
