With your runtests.sh, `make check' runs without errors.

No, in `build/doc' the command `make groff.pdf' does not work.

For `make distcheck', I get this error:

It is strange that `make distcheck' tries to installs already.  Moreover
that installation would go into `/usr', not into `/usr/local'.

Of course, that would not work as normal user.
Maybe `root' would do that - but I don't want to test that.
