Your site.exp file is invalid; this is a bug in Automake rather than a
bug in DejaGnu. The version of Automake that produced the Makefile.in
that you are using mishandles filenames containing spaces. Tcl requires
a value containing spaces to be properly quoted in a "set" command, and
Automake is producing a site.exp that does not contain those quotes for
the objdir variable.
An immediate workaround is to run `sed -e '/^set [^ ]*dir [^"]/{s/dir
/&"/;s/$/"/}' -i site.exp` (tested with GNU sed) to fix your site.exp
file, or to avoid building in a directory where the absolute filename
contains spaces.
Additionally, as of commit b53b22c29880f785ae5e9e1c72925d2583a4c76d
(after 1.6.2 was released) DejaGnu no longer loads site.exp when invoked
with the --version option.
Please try regenerating your Makefile.in with a newer Automake or report
this as a bug in Automake if you are already using the latest version.
I am closing this report as NOTOURBUG.

I have a Makefile created using the auto tools and it has a problem when making the ‘check’ target. The problem is the make file fails to verify the existence of runtest. The command used to test for the existence of runtest is:
if /bin/bash -c "runtest --version" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
What I found by running runtest by hand is it fails if the file site.ext exists.
