Thanks, that got the tests to start up. However, 6 tests failed, with 
diagnostics reported below.

A single line " ../make".

A single line "0.87".


The failures were the following:

features/vpathplus ...................................... FAILED (3/4 
passed)
functions/shell ......................................... FAILED (7/8 
passed)
functions/wildcard ...................................... FAILED (8/9 
passed)

plus the following three timeouts in features/output-sync, perhaps 
because the hardware is reasonably old and slow (a circa-2005 Sun Fire 
280R with 750 MHz UltraSPARC III CPUs).
