So... I committed you patch, and then refactored it 'a bit'

First I separated the operation in 3 differents operations:

1/ the need to make the install: I added in Makefile.top a new
install-tb target that avoid the 'rebuilding' for nothing, and just do
 make dev-install (except that on linux it does not use the 'link to
solver' abilities, to not screw up the cp -R later)

is a new make target substantially duplicating an existing one really
necessary?  there is a configure option --disable-linkoo to have a
solver installation without symlinks, couldn't the tinderboxes that do
bibisect just set that?

1/ this step is purely for the mechanic of the tinderbox it is not
intended to test any thing specific... so the less susceptible the
tinderboxes are to the whim of the day, the better.
2/ I think the cost to not to high to keep the tb setup 'simple'...
iow a 'it just just work'. the way it is now, all you have to do to
start a bibisect repo is to create an empty repo, create a dummy
commit, set the ARTIFACTDIR variable in the config file of the tb and
use -x when running it. I prefer to avoid depending on configure
option that may or may not be there tomorrow , that may or may not
mean the same thing tomorrow, as much as I can.
3/ all that being said... if you feel strongly about it I can learn to
live with --disable-linkoo
