I did not follow the whole thread, but if this is a case where the test
dir overwrites 
the src dir installed binaries, you can cd to src and run make install.
It will reinstall the src binaries (and only the src dir).
This would be a workaround where you do not have to change any makefile
and keep the same configuration. It is a simple non invasive workaround.
