Okay, I do understand now that if "make check" fails with some errors,
those are related to a file I am working on and that fixing those errors
lets "make check" pass. If one thing is broken, everything falls.
This might be information I know when I am not ill. Good that I did
waste some days on this. Problem seems solved now, by reading more into
sources.
