"make test" fails on linux box

The subject line says it all. My python compiles and loads
without too many warnings (the only noteworthy ones were
some complaints about incompatible pointer types in the
"signal" part of readline, and something in the "traceback"
part of python: gcc said that the declaration of a struct
"frame" was only valid within a certain limited scope, which
was probably not what I wanted.)

However, when I do a "make test", I get a segmentation violation.
Below is the edited output from "make" and "make test".
I have edited out the things which go smoothly.

The above was for "make"; the following is for "make test"
