Perhaps you hit the insufficient entropy problem?

I think that this is the case, thanks to your sentence:
"This time, "make test" produced so much output that it went past the
buffer of my telnet application, but the last output that it gave me was
this: "
where you've mentioned "telnet". Usually when you type at the local
keyboard you generate the entropy for the random device, when you connect
from a different machine, there is no physical input to accomplish that.
Well, on a whim I came back later and ran "make test" again, and this time
it succeeded.
I'm not sure if the reason it failed the first time had anything to do with
the lack of user-generated entropy; if it did, that would seem like a
serious bug if it can't be installed over a remote connection. (But then
that's probably not the problem after all, if it succeeded the second time,
over the same remote connection.)
