TEST_GEN_FILES - it's not a test at all, AFAICT.  

This binary is just a helper and it is used by the scripts below.

I only need it to be built before executing the run.sh script.

Isn't this the right VARIABLE to use for the purpose?

I don't think so, but the variables are pretty confusing I could be
wrong. My understanding is that TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED is for tests.
But tests which you don't want to run as unit tests. Like performance
tests, or some slow tests I guess. TEST_GEN_FILES is for building
dependencies and tools which are themselves not tests.
