Should there have been a Makefile in CVS, should > configure have made one, or is the FAQ wrong? The Makefile in testsuite is generated when `make check' is called from the parent winsup directory. The reason is that the testsuite directory isn't added to the list of to configurable subdirectories in winsup/configure. So, on the first run, you have to call `make check' in winsup, every later run you can start from the testsuite dir itself. Whether this qualifies as a bug, I don't know. I'm used to it, so I didn't think about it until today.
