We could go with a variant of the latter: build a shared library off the
tests + libjemalloc_pic.a. And then have a program linked against that
library and calls all tests. That would also allow to get rid of the
Makefile glue to run the tests.

I'll rebase and squash a few things. For good measure, I'll resend the
remaining patch queue.
