Currently all test cases are linked with thp_settings, while only 6 out of 50+ targets rely on it.

Instead of making thp_settings as a common dependency, link it only when necessary.

You don't state why we should care about that? I don't see how binary size is a problem, why do you think it is?

Yes, it doesn't help on the binary size perspective.

I come up with this when doing some test. Each time a change in thp_settings would rebuild all the tests. My intent is to speed up the build during coding.

Not sure it worth a change.
