[PATCH] testing: don't nest build for fp-test

[PATCH] testing: don't nest build for fp-test

[Alex Bennée]

Re-calling the main make is counter-productive and really messes up
with parallel builds. Just ensure we have built the pre-requisites
before we build the fp-test bits. If the user builds manually just
complain if the parent build hasn't got the bits we need.
