Fix libobj2.test failure with non-GNU make: define $(AR).

automake currently defines $(AR) only if it sees a _LIBRARIES primary. That may be an issue or not (and the wrong value for cross setups that it defines is definitely an issue), but not important for this test IMVHO, so how about this patch to avoid a spurious test failure as in http://autobuild.jo

Avoid VPATH-related distcheck failures with non-GNU make

OK, so all the added '$MAKE distcheck' "for safety" at the end of the tests caused roughly a thousand new test failures across the board, it seems, drowning other signals. Most of these failures apparently have two reasons: 1) Cleanup failed to remove some directory because of stale NFS handles,

Reading the log files, I notice that I forgot to use --enable-silent-rules throughout, so that all the test generation is done verbosely and a bit annoying when reading the log files. Now, even if I won't forget again, our users likely will. Would you mind just generating them completely silently
