Didn't you provide them with a patch to Makefile making a run of ./configure unnecessary? > * Use of "-include config.mak.autogen" in the top-level Makefile doesn't > seem to actually include that file.

The "-" in front means that the exit status of this command is ignored. So it is no surprise that it fails when you remove the "-". OTOH it is quite a surprise that it does not work when leaving it alone...

You don't need to make "check". You need to make "test".
