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.
