Just a quick answer, I don't have the time right now. Either use the 
attached patch to not build (and install) test programs, or patch the 
various Makefile.am under test/ with something that looks like:
TEST_LIBS = $(top_builddir)/va/$(libvabackendlib) $(top_builddir)/va/libva.la

and automake & libtool will do the rest.

Regards,
Gwenole.
