My guess is that your grep (in /usr/local/bin/ggrep ) is busted. First clue:
FAIL: t/confsub
===============
...
+ /usr/local/bin/ggrep -F -v 'cd $(top_builddir)'
Binary file subdir/Makefile.in matches
Huh? How on earth is grep thinking that Automake has generated a binary file?
Another example:
FAIL: t/parallel-tests-fork-bomb
================================
...
+ env TESTS=test-suite.test make -e check
+ st=1
+ cat output
make check-TESTS
make: Warning: Infinite loop: Target `test-suite.log' depends on itself
Current working directory
/usr/local/build/automake-1.12.2_sparcv9_001/t/parallel-tests-fork-bomb.dir
mkdir rec-0.d
make: Warning: Infinite loop: Target `test-suite.log' depends on itself
Current working directory
/usr/local/build/automake-1.12.2_sparcv9_001/t/parallel-tests-fork-bomb.dir
mkdir rec-0.d
mkdir: Failed to make directory "rec-0.d"; File exists
mkdir rec-1.d
fatal: making test-suite.log: possible infinite recursion detected
fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create test-suite.trs
fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create test-suite.log
*** Error code 1
...
and so far so good, because the setup in that test is explicitly meant
to elicit such error messages from make; but then we have:
...
+ /usr/local/bin/ggrep -E -i 'depend.* on itself' output \
| /usr/local/bin/ggrep -F test-suite.log
+ continue
+ test no = yes
+ _am_exit 1
which is just wrong, because we've seen that the file 'output' contains
the string "Infinite loop: Target `test-suite.log' depends on itself",
which should be matched by the grep commands above.
Later, once again, ggrep mistakes a simple text file for a binary one:
FAIL: t/tap-ambiguous-directive
===============================
...
+ cat
+ /usr/local/bin/ggrep -F ': all.test' stdout
+ cat exp
PASS: all.test 1 # foo SKIP
FAIL: all.test 2 # bar TODO
PASS: all.test 3 # :SKIP
FAIL: all.test 4 # :TODO
SKIP: all.test 5 # SKIP SKIP
XFAIL: all.test 6 # TODO TODO
+ cat got
Binary file stdout matches
...
All the other failures seem similar to this last one.

No in the compiler :-) But GNU grep is busted on your system IMHO.

Great!

You might try this:
$ gmake check -j8 FGREP='/usr/xpg4/bin/grep -F' EGREP='/usr/xpg4/bin/grep -E'
and see if/how things improve.
Thanks,
