I've never used `make test-redo' before, so I can't claim to know if
it works correctly or not.

Since I don't trust the build system to "do the right thing", I use
this canned command sequence to test new changes against an existing
baseline:

  make
  find . -name 'out-test' | xargs rm -rf
  rm -rf ./out/lybook-testdb/ ./out/test-results/
  make check

Does that work for you?
