For me, the problem actually was that specifying DMD=dmd does *not* work 
because it breaks the wildcard rules, as $(DMD) is specified in the 
dependency list there. It took me quite some time to realize that, as 
make only prints the following in that case:

make: *** No rule to make target `test_results/runnable/A16.d.out', 
needed by `run_runnable_tests'.  Stop.

Is having the DMD binary in the dependency list really necessary, or 
could it just be removed? In case it really is for whatever reason, some 
documentation for that would be nice – apart from that, adding a short 
test/README might be generally helpful as well.
