I am using automake from the stable branch, and autoconf-2.50, so I can't 
vouch for how well things work with development versions... you might try 
that configuration before digging too much.  I have received a lot of patches 
for NetBSD, and was under the impression libtool was in pretty good shape in 
that respect...

You can run individual or batches of tests verbosely:

  $ VERBOSE=1 make check TESTS='mdemo-shared.test mdemo-make.test \
  mdemo-exec.test'

HTH,

Cheers,
