All,
is "make check" meant to be run on release tarballs, or just in the git
repository?
Thanks,
William

It's meant to work on both. That's what 'make distcheck' verifies, too.

Seems the (huge) sysfs test tree is not packaged into the tarball. So
they work only in the git tree today.
These tests need to run as root (for mknod()), and are ignore if 'make
check' is called as non-root, that's why it's not fatal or visible in
the usual case or during make distcheck.
