Certainly odd.

The output from make check shows that all the ray -> bounding tests 
failed. If you code up:

//--- test.pov
sphere { 0, 5000
     hollow
     pigment { rgb <0,1,0> }
     finish { emission 1 }
}
//---

and run it by pointing directly to the <build dir>/unix/povray executable:

<build dir>/unix/povray test.pov

Do you see a green render? (You'll need to do this as root (or via sudo) 
as you compiled as root)

Above scene should bypass the bounding and all rays will land on the 
inside surface of the sphere.

Aside: It might be worth doing a build as a regular user. It should be 
you can do everything but a machine level install. In other words, 'make 
check' should run fine.

Aside: You have 16 threads, you can compile faster after configuration 
by using:

make -j16
make check
