As a test, I went into the howto_square_ff.cc file and changed it so that it adds instead of multiplies (so doubles instead of squares). The make check still passed without problems. If I introduced a syntax error, then it fails - so I am definitely changing the file being used in the make process.
This implies that the make check process is not actually invoking the qa_howto.py program.
