Yeah, that's possible in a way, I did it in another case, see how the 
'bionic' test for Android libc gets executed separately (but still 
unconditionally - we should probably only execute it if the libc test 
fails).

The 'FEATURE_TESTS' variable holds the 'flat' list of features that we 
want to definitely test.

Also, if glibc test passes then perhaps the strlcpy() test does not have 
to be executed at all.

In the initial version I wanted to maintain the existing feature 
dependency.

Thanks,
