The failure is that instead of proceeding normally, make gives this
error in one of the tests:

   make: *** gta: Is a directory.  Stop.

This means that somehow "gta" is being considered a directory by the
operating system instead of a file.  This can't be a bug in the test
suite, else everyone would see it (and when I check the test it does
indeed create a file not a directory).

I can only assume it's a bug in the version of WSL you're using.  Are
you using WSL1 or WSL2?
