If the build directory differs from the source directory, e.g.:

source dir is in ~/git/lttng-tools

cd ~/git/lttng-tools
./bootstrap
./configure
make distclean

mkdir /tmp/tools-build
cd /tmp/tools-build
~/git/lttng-tools/configure
make
make check

The make check command fails with:

make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/t2/tests'
./run.sh unit_tests
/bin/bash: ./run.sh: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/t2/tests'
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/t2/tests'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

Basically, every script that we use within the tests should be copied over to the build directory. I fixed this in lttng-ust already with the following commit:

    Fix: allow make check to run in VPATH build

A similar approach should be used within tools tests.
