This problem is caused by the postgresql-test rpm. The tests depend on a
Makefile being present at a higher level, from the source build.
$ pwd
/usr/lib/pgsql/test/regress
$ gmake check
GNUmakefile:16: ../../../src/Makefile.global: No such file or directory
gmake: *** No rule to make target `../../../src/Makefile.global'. Stop.

Change/add the following variable set in pg_regress.sh:
bindir=/usr/bin
libdir=/usr/lib/pgsql
pkglibdir=/usr/lib/pgsql

Not sure what this is. The postgresql-test rpm needs some massaging I think.
