As always with testsuites, the detail can happen a lot earlier. My
run of make check on that machine was logged, and the first 12
lines, up to the point where it started to compile test progs, were:

make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'check'.
true DO=all multi-do # make
make btest stest ztest edtest ttest ctestg ctesta
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'check'.
make[2]: Entering directory '/building/gcc-8.2.0/build/fixincludes'
autogen -T ../../fixincludes/check.tpl ../../fixincludes/inclhack.def
make[2]: autogen: Command not found
make[2]: *** [Makefile:176: check] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory '/building/gcc-8.2.0/build/fixincludes'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:3674: check-fixincludes] Error 2
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'check'.
make[3]: Entering directory '/building/gcc-8.2.0/build/libbacktrace'

The Error 127 (no such file) translates becomes Error 2 in the
check-fixincludes target, and that (plus any other errors, if there
were any - not in your case) carries through to the final status.

Okay, I redirected the output of make -k check to a file, and I do indeed get 
something similar, the same ‘Error 127’, right in the beginning:

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gcc-8.2.0/build'
make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gcc-8.2.0/build/fixincludes'
autogen -T ../../fixincludes/check.tpl ../../fixincludes/inclhack.def
make[2]: autogen: Command not found
make[2]: *** [Makefile:176: check] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/gcc-8.2.0/build/fixincludes'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:3674: check-fixincludes] Error 2


So that seems to be comparable to what you got.
Does that mean that I can go ahead and install gcc-8.2.0 or is something wrong?

Yes, install it, nothing is wrong.

For more on autogen, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29700
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/autogen

There is no way that can be built at this early stage (it appears
to need libguile, libxml2, libregex).

Great, thanks for the explanation. This sounds to me as if everyone should get 
the same error, since nobody would have autogen at this stage.
