FAIL test-bz89617 (exit status: 1)

Looking further:

int
main (void)
{
    FcConfig *config = FcConfigGetCurrent ();

    if (!FcConfigAppFontAddFile (config, SRCDIR "/4x6.pcf") ||
        FcConfigAppFontAddFile (config, "/dev/null"))
        return 1;

    return 0;
}

and

The file 4x6.pcf is present

root@x064:[/data/prj/freedesktop/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.11.94]find . -name 4x6.pcf
./test/4x6.pcf

And SRCDIR seem to be properly defined.

root@x064:[/data/prj/freedesktop/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.11.94]grep SRCDIR test/*

So, suggestions welcome - as far as howto correct make check is concerned.

FYI #1:
* running test on NFS server - not that should make a difference imho - but sometimes it has.

FYI #2:
* after running 'make distclean' ./configure + make fails with:
...
make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/freedesktop/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.11.94/fontconfig'
Making all in fc-blanks
make[2]: Entering directory '/data/prj/freedesktop/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.11.94/fc-blanks'
  GEN      fcblanks.h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./fc-blanks.py", line 5, in <module>
    from lxml import html
ImportError: No module named lxml
Makefile:593: recipe for target 'fcblanks.h' failed
make[2]: *** [fcblanks.h] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/freedesktop/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.11.94/fc-blanks'
Makefile:579: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
...

A fresh tarball configures and makes with no crippling issues OR unpack the tarball again into directory and make succeeds (I am guessing that fc-blapks.py is restored).

FYI #3
While make install works fine - when not already installed DESTDIR=xxx make install fails UNLESS make install is run first.

WITHOUT 'make install' first - the result looks something like this:
/opt/bin/make install DESTDIR=/var/aixtools/freedesktop/fontconfig/2.11.94.0
- but I shall post this as a bug in a moment. Now that I have looked at the output.
