thanks for the report! Turns out version 0.10.0-1 of check requires an
additional -lsubunit, which check.m4 doesn't currently produce. They
seem to suggest that switching to PKG_CHECK_MODULES is the way to go,
but my primitive autotools knowledge didn't lead to a working solution.
I'm going to monkey-patch check.m4 for now, hoping that upstream will
know what to do.
