The tests performed by "make check" and "make installcheck" are the
same, with the only difference being "make installcheck" installing
PostGIS as an extension while "make check" installing it via script.

The reason why there's a distinction is that EXTENSIONs can only be
installed from system directories.

Both EXTENSION (installcheck) and non-extension (check) tests can
execute against non-standard postgres installation. Actual
installation paths are extracted from the pg_config that's found
at ./configure time.

Had you tried to just run those make targets ?
It's easier to help you fight monsters if you actually meet them :)
