make check -n fails
Hello.
While packaging PPL for Gentoo I found that our package manager kept skipping running the testsuite. Basically, to determine if a package has a testsuite it first runs make in dry-run mode:
+ make -j1 check -n + make -j1 test -n
..and if successful it goes ahead and runs the tests.
After a bit of poking, I discovered that the problem is that running `make check -n` in PPL fails with an error:
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../tests/libppl_tests.a', needed by `addcongruences1'. Stop.
Regular `make check` works fine of course, as does `make check -n` after `make check`.
Full log attached. Please CC me on replies.

Hi Ryan,
thank you very much for the report. We are working on this problem. Due to various other issues, we have to release PPL 0.10.2 and we would like to have this problem fixed as well. We should make a release snapshot available by tomorrow: I will write you again when that is ready, so you can try it. All the best,
Roberto
