Hi Pau. Thanks for your reply.
Please be sure that your LC_ALL and/or LANG variables are set to "C"
before running make check. I thought that I had modified this inside
the Perl scripts that drive the tests, but apparently I didn't get it
right; there was a bug report about it (this has been fixed in CVS now
though).
From bash I needed to do both:
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ export LANG=C
However, I still saw three test failures, (these failures are not in the
latest CVS 3.81.90 build I should add).

Could this message below be updated to remind that "make update" is
needed to download the po files?
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/now3d/maketest/make/po'
File be.po does not exist. If you are a translator, you can create it
through 'msginit'.
If that fixes the problem, I'm interested to see what locale you were
using before... it seems odd to me that someone would make a translation
that changes the string ". Stop." to ". Stop." (if you look at the
fatal() function in misc.c you'll see where this string comes from).
