It's not incorrect. test_maps and test_progs share the same set of BPF
object files under progs/ so whichever rule is picked first by make
gets to output it's [test_maps] or [test_progs] "badge". Is that a big
deal? Adding this $$(TRUNNER_BINARY) indirection and per-target
private TRUNNER_BINARY envvar is an unnecessary complication of
already complicated Makefile, IMO.

Did you run into any problems with the way Makefile is right now?
