   I installed libcheck on the powerpc machine, and it passed the tests.

   I didn't find libcheck in debian?  Should I use --enable-nocheck
   there?

No. The check library cannot work in mingw32 because it depends on
fork and other POSIX facilities not available in Windows. We wrote
nocheck as an API-compatible replacement for windows.

For Debian-like systems check should be installed by hand.

   Added now.  Many tests work, but it seems to crash later on:

Hm, we should take a look.
