I suspect you have added @VALGRIND_CHECK_RULES@ to
$top_srcdir/Makefile.am, and are running `make check-valgrind-memcheck` 
there. What you need to do instead is to add @VALGRIND_CHECK_RULES@ to
$top_srcdir/testsuite/Makefile.am, and run `make -C testsuite check-
valgrind-memcheck`.

check-TESTS should be defined in $top_builddir/testsuite/Makefile.in,
but not in $top_builddir/Makefile.in, since you don’t have any tests
defined there.
