I get the same thing (including the same complaints from the loader) on

        alpha-dec-osf4.0f
        alpha-dec-osf5.1

both using vendor cc and ld.

Note that you *must* make sure GNU make is in your PATH before the system
make.  Even doing something like

        gmake check

(to cause GNU make to be used in the top level directory) will cause as
many as 28 of the tests to fail.  As soon as I did

        PATH=/local/gnu/bin:$PATH
        export PATH
        gmake check

all tests passed.

Wouldn't it be a win to add

        MAKE="$(MAKE)"

to the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in tests/Makefile.am, so we're certain that all
the *.test scripts get the same make that was used in the top level
directory?  With that change in place, using

        gmake check

now works.
