When individual test files are skipped due to compilation failures, their .test.o files are absent. The linker step currently lists all expected .test.o files as explicit prerequisites, so make considers any missing one an error. Move TRUNNER_TEST_OBJS to the order-only prerequisite list so that their absence does not prevent linking. Use $(wildcard ...) in the filter expression passed to the linker so that only the objects that were actually built are linked in. Signed-off-by: Ricardo B.
