In Fedora 16, make check "ALL_TESTS=yes" gives me a failure in
'Pod-Simple-Texinfo/prove.sh':

  $ cat Pod-Simple-Texinfo/prove.sh.log
  + test z. = z
  + tpdir=./../tp

  Test Summary Report
  -------------------
  ./t/Pod-Simple-Texinfo.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
    Non-zero exit status: 2
    Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
  Files=1, Tests=0,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr +  0.01 sys =  0.05 CPU)
  Result: FAIL

So the test should be skipped if Test::more is not available.

I hope I'll be able to test on Solaris and NetBSB later today.
