I fixed the problem. It is a missing build dependency. I did only call 
"make check" directly after generating a fresh build dir with CMake. So 
not every dependency of the tests has been built yet, scm-srfi64-extras 
is one of them. After calling "make all" and then "make check" again and 
after installing missing french locale, all tests run successfully now. 
Maybe there are even more missing dependencies, which are all built with 
"make all".

Is this a known issue, that the test applications are missing some 
required dependencies in the CMakeLists.txt? I'll have a look, what is 
actually missing and try to fix it.
