Hi Karl et al.,

Yes, you can ignore this.

I didn't know we even had a target "make test".
Moreover, in my local repo I had a directory test which would have masked
this error anyway.

One of our developers broke that unused test code long ago and I recall
complaining about it.
For now I've just commented out the code in prc/test.cc.

Making test a synonym for check doesn't inhibit the compilation of this file
but making swapping the roles of check and test surprisingly works.
I've committed both changes to git.
