This is the situation where the tests quit mid-way like this:

PASS: tests/depdemo-shared-unst.test
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `.log', needed by `test-suite.log'.  Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/bfriesen/mingw/libtool-head'
make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/bfriesen/mingw/libtool-head'
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bfriesen/mingw/libtool-head'
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bfriesen/mingw/libtool-head'
make: *** [check] Error 2

I am not finding this posted to a libtool list so it was probabably in 
off-list discussion among libtool core developers.

The above is produced today after re-installing MinGW/GCC using the 
latest TDM GCC installer (with GCC 4.5.1).  It is similar to what I 
observed before.  The test suite used to work so I assume that the 
issue is due to some change in the past few months, such as in 
Automake.

There are no autotools installed in this MinGW installation.  Libtool 
is bootstrapped on a Solaris system.
