This is supposed to handle it, in nss/Makefile already:

$(patsubst %,$(objpfx)%.out,$(tests)) : \
	$(objpfx)/libnss_test1.so$(libnss_test1.so-version) \
	$(objpfx)/libnss_test2.so$(libnss_test2.so-version)

Well, two reasons not to...

1. There are a lot of shortcuts in that "syntax" that would be more
   complex in a plain Makefile.  Reducing the cost of adding lots of
   tests was one of the design considerations.

2. We run that script after we've locked and cleaned the testroot, which
   we can't do in the Makefile.
