The two test sets have already started to differ a long time
ago. There's a reason for the --target= option to
smbtorture4.

I fully agree, in particular I would like to get the library
thing much more used. The size of our bin/ directory is just
silly. But only potentially. Not having the option to build
critical tools statically is a hard stop for me. Being
forced to collect my binaries and its associated libraries
from various directories via LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an absolute
debugging nightmare on a developer machine where you might
have different versions of stuff around. I'm not willing to
accept this.

And to be honest, I don't care if smbtorture is structured
nicely, and I don't care about its size. It has to do its
job.
