There are two things to fix. One that the patch from Jan attempted is
wrong path in the rule in the testcases.mk and the second one is that
the libraries are not build from the top level Makefile first before
everything else.

For the first problem fixing the path to the library Makefile should fix
the problem, something as (beware untested) this should fix it:

diff --git a/include/mk/testcases.mk b/include/mk/testcases.mk
index 131854ec7..6d1b2d4ef 100644
--- a/include/mk/testcases.mk
+++ b/include/mk/testcases.mk
@@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ LTPLIBS_FILES = $(addsuffix .a, $(addprefix $(abs_top_builddir)/libs/, $(foreach
 MAKE_DEPS += $(LTPLIBS_FILES)
 
 $(LTPLIBS_FILES): $(LTPLIBS_DIRS)

 LDFLAGS += $(addprefix -L$(top_builddir)/libs/lib, $(LTPLIBS))

I will have a look at the top level Makefile as well to see what has to
be done there.
