The testcases are included in the gcc package, but the testsuite driver is
not. It is a separate package. You will need to download dejagnu if you
want to run the testsuites. There are about 26000 tests that get run if
you do things this way.

As I suspected, you are confusing library files with testcases. The library
files only get built once, since there is no need to rebuild them for every
minor compiler change. Touching the makefile is forcing the library to
rebuild. An easier way to do this is to delete the library files that you
want to rebuild.
