Same problem at make check step, but using msys on Windows10.
I found lines of diff: command not found. So, it requires diff program. And you could check this, too.
In my environment, I can install it with:

pacman -Sy
pacman -Syu
pacman -Ss diff
pacman -S msys/diffutils

But when I retry, the test program have some new fatal. Now, I'm finding out what happened again.

Obviously, many tests-product errors and failures are expected.
After compare twice make check output and tests source files to filter out those unexpect failures and errors (begin with +):
some lines in one loop just remain unexpect message lines with {begin and end} or {near lines}.

Twice make check same parts:

• Maybe some are caused by windows signal mechanism?
• check_check_master.c:426:F:Core Tests:test_check_nfailures:0: Unexpected number of failures received, 210, expected 209. this is an logical exception.

However, I could only choose to ignore those 2 make check fatals.
make check was fully passed on linux, so I can use it on Linux, if I have no necessary to test on Windows.
In fact, signal mechanism is unusual using on Windows, we can use other hook to catch those signal. So I can probably ignore this make check result, and use libcheck as normal.
