Yes, indeed, you are right, they should be included in the .gitignore.

Yes, that would have been my next observation :-)

I'd suggest that instead of enumerating them all in the .gitignore
file we should change the naming of the feature check binaries to
something like test-<xyz>.bin or so, so that a simple test-*.bin
pattern will ignore all these generated binaries.

Thanks,
