gmake check blows up: Solaris 2.7

[Hugh Sasse Staff Elec Eng]

The installation guide suggest that making check is not really necessary,
but I usually like to do this where I can.  The failure on my Solaris 2.7
box was pretty drastic though, so I am not prepared to install this yet.

# The default value of /tmp/cvs-sanity for TESTDIR is dubious,

# 1.  Use /tmp/cvs-test$$.  One disadvantage is that the old
#     cvs-test* directories would pile up, because they wouldn't
#     necessarily get removed.
# 2.  Have everyone/everything running the testsuite set
#     TESTDIR to some appropriate directory.
# 3.  Have the default value of TESTDIR be some variation of
#     `pwd`/cvs-sanity.  The biggest problem here is that we have

#     actual pathnames that we pass to it, rather than a different
#     pathname for the same directory, as may come out of `pwd`.
#     So this would be lost if everything was `pwd`-based.  I suppose

A look back through the archive of this list suggests this has not been raised
