According to Ralf Wildenhues on 1/30/2008 4:46 PM:
| Hello,
|
| I don't either know what the root cause of your problem is, but it seems
| to me it could not hurt if checks/Makefile.in used the same shell and
| $(MAKE) initialization as did all the automake-generated Makefiles.

Thanks for catching that, Ralf; I'll apply it shortly.  I agree that this
is not the root of the problem, since the failure message comes from a
reference to the $$fail variable expansion which is not present in the
checks directory; but it is also worth fixing.  Fortunately, it is not a
problem on the master branch, where we use automake across the entire project.
