I don't think relint should be part of `make check` since its purpose is
very different (it doesn't try to verify the functional correctness of
the code by running it).

It should be a separate `make relint`.

You use `make check` above as a way to (try to) ensure that a build is
functional, and running relint will not help with that since it only
looks at the source code and not the resulting behavior.
