I've committed these two patches to maint, to fix 'make clean check',
as well as 'cd tests; make recheck' after a test failure that involves
an inner test using parallel-tests.
Cheers,
Ralf
Fix `make clean check' for the Automake package.
* lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `.' before `tests',
so that Config.pm is built first.

Fix in-tree `recheck' after failed test that runs `check'.
If a test like pr401b-p.test fails for some reason, a `make
recheck' would cause another reason for failure because it sets
AM_MAKEFLAGS which gets propagated into the test and causes its
`make check' to fail.
* tests/defs.in: Also unset AM_MAKEFLAGS.
