FWIW, 'make -C' is GNU make-specific, the portable equivalent would be
  cd tests && env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes make check TESTS=...

and catering to even more ugly make issues (macro settings on the command line
not being passed down to sub-make invocations; and automake causing check to
invoke a sub-make for the check-TESTS target), it would be:
  cd tests && env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes TESTS=... make -e check

Of course, -e has its own set of problems, depending on what the user has
set in the environment already.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
