Each of the tests needs to link against the libmissing.a library.
Therefore this library needs to be built before the tests are compiled
and linked.

Probably something's wrong in the Makefile regarding the build order...

Does it work when you use two directories that are siblings instead
of ancestors?

   gnulib-tool --import --lib=libmissing --source-base=libmissing \
  --m4-base=libmissing/m4 --tests-base=libmissing-tests --with-tests \
  localcharset
