Not working too well:

make -C pg_ctl installcheck
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/bf/bfr/root/HEAD/pgsql.build/src/bin/pg_ctl'
cd /home/bf/bfr/root/HEAD/pgsql.build/../pgsql/src/bin/pg_ctl &&

line 142.

This was invoked like this:

cd $pgsql/src/bin && make NO_LOCALE=1 installcheck

Note that it's a vpath build.
