I managed to work around this. The patch indeed causes the tests to be skipped, leading to: ... PASS: t/vala.sh vala2: skipped test: pkg-config m4 macros not found SKIP: t/vala2.sh vala3: skipped test: pkg-config m4 macros not found SKIP: t/vala3.sh PASS: t/vala4.sh vala5: skipped test: pkg-config m4 macros not found SKIP: t/vala5.sh SKIP: t/vala-vapi.sh vala-headers: skipped test: pkg-config m4 macros not found SKIP: t/vala-headers.sh vala-libs: skipped test: pkg-config m4 macros not found SKIP: t/vala-libs.sh SKIP: t/vala-vpath.sh SKIP: t/vala-mix.sh SKIP: t/vala-mix2.sh ...
