'make check' exits with exit code 0 on a failure.

[sagetrac-drkirkby]

The iconv package, which will soon be added to sage (#8191) has the facility to run

make check

However, despite getting a test failure on Solaris 10 (SPARC), the makefile is still exiting with an exit code of 0, so any scripts which rely on testing iconv by relying on a failure of 'make check' to exit properly with a non-zero exit code will not work as desired.

I'll report this to the iconv developers.

I'm told by the iconv developers this is not a bug. The core dumps are expected and ignored.
