I can confirm that "make check" outside the source tree directory
doesn't currently work.  We are working (very slowly) toward fixing
the build files (the Makefile.am files in the various
subdirectories) to be more friendly to builds from outside the tree
but, frankly, that task is at a relatively very low priority. 
However, as for the rest of the library, patches are always welcome.
