It really should not be necessary for you to hack the makefiles before
"make check" will pass. In any case, pg_regress seems to be reporting
that it searched the correct directory.

Given the upthread discussion about readdir having alignment issues in the
environment you're using, I'm suspecting that that is somehow causing
pg_regress to fail to find anything while it searches the directory.
Does that sound plausible at all? Look at pgfnames() in
src/common/pgfnames.c and convert_sourcefiles_in() in
src/test/regress/pg_regress.c.
