Well it might be different now as you have to checkout startup and core 
separately, and if you check out core as part of modules/devmodules, you might 
have something like this:

./modules/core
./startup

in which case you need to make a link so startup can find the core directory:

ln -s modules/core core

or perhaps I could update the script to look for core in modules or devmodules.

That is very odd. How did 'test' get there?  Can you look at the GNUmakefile 
and GNUmakefile.in and try to figure out if it is there. Did you get nib2gmodel 
from SVN or from the tar.gz?
