"make bubblestrap" doesn't work if you didn't "make bootstrap" to
begin with. And a bubblestrap can be pretty resource intensive in
some cases.
IMHO "make check" is a pseudo-target that shouldn't be building
ANYTHING. At best, it could fail if the needed bits hadn't been built
yet, but since it's difficult to auto-detect how the current build was
built (all vs bootstrap vs hand-tweaked stuff while debugging) perhaps
it shouldn't try.
