If that works, great. It didn't work for me when I was trying, but that may have been an artifact of not starting the build from scratch when testing. I don't expect it makes much difference either way though, LLVM_INCLUDE_TESTS is documented as only including the *targets* for the tests, and LLVM_BUILD_TESTS controlls whether they are built by default (or only via the check targets when tests are requested to be run).
