I see that you failed to identify the versions of autoconf, automake, 
and libtool you are using.  Often it makes a difference, particularly 
when libtool is involved.  Anyone reporting a problem with autotools 
should also report which versions are involved.

The commands executed by the 'check' target in Makefile.am are 
entirely up to you.  Probably you have added something (e.g. 
"$(EXEEXT)") which adds this .exe extension to the command name.

For example you can have

check:
        ./foo bar

and your ./foo will never be converted to "./foo.exe".
