[tz] Re: tzcode and tzdata tar base make checks fail

The attached logs show the results of having the package build scripts run `make check` from the package build directory which is set up with symlinks to each of the tar sources.

Is there anything obviously missing or incorrect with `make check` invocations

The 'make check' rule checks all of tzdb, both code and data. In those logs it fails in a tzcode-only build because some data files are missing, and it fails in a tzdata-only build because some code files are missing. One fix would be to get both code and data into the same directory, do a 'make check' there, and then use that directory to generate the programs and/or data that you need (possibly as separate Cygwin packages).
