Sure - I can try gmake. (results in next email). But the message is 
saying /bin/sh is not found. Is it perhaps looking for bash but saying 
/bin/sh instead. /bin/sh is there.

And, remember, the build (make) proceeded fine, install 
(DESTDIR=/some/where/to/install make install) - also fine. It is only 
"make check" that is failing.
