    That's correct; "make check" is not designed to be run as root.

Then how about having it complain in that case?
No real need for perfect detection, seems to me, so something like this
could suffice:
if test x`id -u 2>/dev/null` = x0; then
  echo "make (check) in rcs cannot be run as root." >&2
  exit 1
fi

Of course, it would be better to simply support running make check
as root, but I don't know what the issue is with that.

Just an idea.

Best,
k
