I've revived check to push it to 0.9.5 in rawhide. If you are building against old check, please note that check now generates both static and shared libs. The check-static subpackage may be what you need to BuildRequires, along with check-devel.
If this is too painful, I can go back to 0.9.3, just let me know.
