It should build both versions of the executable and then simply link (cp
on windows) the actual executable name to the "best" version (i.e.
native when its available).

Note, this returns the array [fooTest$(EXE), fooTest.opt, fooTest.run]
which are all of the things it built.

You can then build your unit tests:

.PHONY: test_byte test_opt
test_byte: fooTest.run
    ./fooTest.run

test_opt: fooTest.opt
    ./fooTest.opt
