Thanks.  However, I still cannot reproduce the problem (even using
the contents of the tarball you've sent me).  But I've noticed that
all the files in that tarball have *all* the permission bits set:

  $ tar tvf ~/stdinc.dir.tar
  ...
  -rwxrwxrwx 0/0  32933 2012-01-31 19:41 stdinc.dir/config.status
  -rwxrwxrwx 0/0      9 2012-01-31 19:41 stdinc.dir/sub/bar.h
  ...

which is weird... Have you changed their permission before storing
them in the tarball?  Maybe the failure you are experiencing is the
result of some weird permission problem/misconfiguration...  What is
your umask?  Have you installed SELinux on your system?

Could you please post the result of the following commands?

  $ umask
  $ make check TESTS="stdinc.test"
  $ ls -ARZ --full-time stdinc.dir
  $ stat stdinc.dir/sub stdinc.dir/build/sub

Thanks,
  Stefano
