This time it looked much better:
Yay.
So I guess it's BSD make/GNU make or root/non-root user issue and can
be closed from my POV.
I didn't realize you had been running the tests as root. I think that
might be the problem.
Automake (both its own installation and the generated Makefiles) are
supposed to work with BSD make, but I don't think it's possible to make
all the tests work under root. Maybe it should bail out up front if
that's the case. I'll look into it someday, maybe, or ideally someone
else will be interested enough to look into it.
Meanwhile, I'll close this one. Thanks Thomas. -k
