Cool.  Gary's fixes for non-GNU make took care of the build issues,
the test failures (beside hardcode) are due to one issue only.

I guess the XPASS we observed back then must be on Interix 3 only then.
Does the patch below fix both failures?  You can test faster by
  make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='47 49'

after applying the patch.

Apparently it is now, for Libtool.  :-)

Thanks.  The issues noted in the manpage shouldn't matter now, I guess.
