Hi Magnus,
thank you so much for doing this patch! Having a convenient way to run
tests from the Makefiles is something I have wanted for a very long
time :) Unfortunately I don't have the required Makefile knowledge to
review this, but if I can help out with testing the patch, just let me
know.
Sure, go ahead and test it. The easiest way might be to check out my
branch in the jdk9-sandbox, ihse-testmakefiles-branch. There are slight
differences to the published patch but none that really matters. (Most
noticeably I have introduced a constantly failing test in gtest for
testing purposes.)

Thanks,
Erik

A long-time issue has been a consistent way for developers to
effortlessly run tests on local builds. This patch introduces a new,
alternative "run-test" target, which allows for a smoother developer
experience in running tests. It does not modify or remove any existing
ways of running tests, which are still needed for automated test systems
and old scripts.
