This seems to be a `make' problem. With your recent changes to use
`$MAKE', it fails with Tru64 make but pass with GNU make :

address@hidden [automake/tests]> make check-TESTS TESTS='extra6.test'
MAKE=make 
No suffix list.
FAIL: extra6.test
===================
1 of 1 tests failed
===================
*** Exit 1
Stop.

address@hidden [automake/tests]> gmake check-TESTS TESTS='extra6.test'
MAKE=gmake PASS: extra6.test
==================
All 1 tests passed
==================
