well, if i won't write it, the question will be:
"did you use the binary or you have compiled it from source?"
IMHO, it IS relevant.

in README in that directory:
[...]
The chk script ***runs executable files*** in this directory whose
names begin with 'check_'. Files containing CHECK-BUILD
are run for the build check, and files containing CHECK-INSTALL
are run for the install check.

in 3.0.4 is not "so silent", but almost.
the header of "check_sdl":
---
#!/bin/sh
# CHECK-BUILD CHECK-INSTALL
if [ ! "$XENFB_TOOLS" = "y" ]
then
echo -n "unused, "
exit 0
fi
---
you see, there is an option.

that can be.

but, it is an header.
without an header, AFAIK, if there is not a check in makefile (or somethink
like that) make will fail.
so, it is not a matter of feature (that, as you wrote, a configure can
resolve), but a matter of dependencies.

dunno about hvm (i'm going to ask), for sure not framebuffer for domu
(disabled).
