And the answer is:

Yes, 'make all' does not build check_PROGRAMS [1]. Only 'make check'
builds check_PROGRAMS.

However, unfotunately, Heimdal still builds the test programs. I believe
this is because they are also listed in noinst_PROGRAMS. Trying to
comment out noinst_PROGRAMS leads to it's own errors.
