Discussed with Ossy, we need to split this issue in 2 - about failing test and
dependency issue in build system.

More details on dependency issue, compiled from IRC chat:

When you remove a file from the tree, it will be removed from the makefiles,
dependencies, etc. But if you remove the dependency, it might be some trash in
an object, lib. Try to imagine a foo.so : a.o b.o c.o rule, and if you remove
a.c from the tree, the new rule will be foo.so : b.o c.o , without a.o. This
rule won't trigger a new linking.
