Manually invoking runtest -srcdir <srcdir> with and without --debug added
didn't make much of a difference.  In fact, here's the excerpt from
runtest.log on Solaris 8:

Running 
/amnt/zacatecas/volumes/d9/gnu/src/dejagnu/dejagnu-1.4/testsuite/runtest.all/options.exp

And here's the corresponding excerpt from Tru64 UNIX V4.0F:

                === dejagnu Summary ===

The difference is only

WARNING: No tool specified

vs.

WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file

When I invoke the above runtest command manually on Solaris (i.e. not from
make check), I get the same warning about tool init file ;-)
