We have:
$(call recurse,world-bin,src config contrib,all)
means src/Makefile is reached but will not reach src/test/modules/Makefile
because test/modules is not part of src/Makefile's SUBDIRS.

We have:
$(call recurse,install-world,doc src config contrib,install)
so, same as above (src/test/modules/Makefile will not be reached).
From what I can see, only:
check-world:
$(call recurse,check-world,src/test src/pl src/interfaces contrib src/bin src/tools/pg_bsd_indent,check)
checkprep:
$(call recurse,checkprep, src/test src/pl src/interfaces contrib src/bin)
installcheck-world:
$(call recurse,installcheck-world,src/test src/pl src/interfaces contrib src/bin,installcheck)
build src/test/modules.
I just found surprising that a "default" make (no target specified) does not
build src/test/modules while a "default" meson/ninja does.
