Well, that is one part. "make test" really just checks if the test/
directory exists, it doesn't really contribute to the quality control.

The other thing with "make check" is that it is failing if the build
system doesn't run systemd[1] or fails if the installed version is not
new enough (debian still ships systemd 44 that doesn't have catalogs
so the catalog test fails).

systemd currently does not link on default Debian/Ubuntu systems.
Could you please elaborate how this is a non-standard/broken setup?

I can make it link by installing binutils-gold, if systemd now
requires gold, could you please update the configure.ac and README
to reflect this?
