I removed the "test" dependency from the "install" target in
the Makefile, and "make install" then worked.

I have now successfully done a full hpcmips install and ATF test run.
The console log output from the tests is at:

  http://www.gson.org/netbsd/bugs/build/hpcmips/2019/2019.06.03.15.49.04/test.log

There are some 181 failing test cases, and lots of "warning: LOW
reference" and "pmap_tlb_update_addr(...) returned 0" messages,
but that was already the case with 0.6.0.1.

I also tested pmax, and it now fails to boot after the install as it
tries to mount the wrong disk as the root.  A console log from 0.6.0.1
is at

  http://www.gson.org/netbsd/bugs/build/pmax/2019/2019.05.02.00.34.06/test.log

and from trunk:

  http://www.gson.org/netbsd/bugs/build/pmax/2019/2019.06.03.15.49.04/test.log

Comparing the two, I see the bootstring has changed from "boot 5/rz0/ -a"
to "boot 5/rz1/ -a".

Great, thanks.
