Nixpkgs: bitlbee does not build

[terlar]

Describe the bug
Bitlbee does not build on master.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. nix-build --no-build-output -A bitlbee

these derivations will be built:
  /nix/store/2a69lfr8r6zh6d20nwvqyxcd6p9yii05-bitlbee-3.6.drv
building '/nix/store/2a69lfr8r6zh6d20nwvqyxcd6p9yii05-bitlbee-3.6.drv'...
builder for '/nix/store/2a69lfr8r6zh6d20nwvqyxcd6p9yii05-bitlbee-3.6.drv' failed with exit code 2; last 10 log lines:
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  check_util.c:27:12: warning: 'test_strip_newlines' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
   START_TEST(test_strip_newlines)

              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:27: check_util.o] Error 1

  make: *** [Makefile:65: check] Error 2
error: build of '/nix/store/2a69lfr8r6zh6d20nwvqyxcd6p9yii05-bitlbee-3.6.drv' failed

Expected behavior
The bitlbee derivation should build without errors.

Bisecting pointed me to the following commit. It seems like START_TEST changed a bit and use without creating a block to contain the unit-test code stopped working.

    check: 0.12.0 -> 0.13.0

Looks like it was done in this commit in libcheck: https://github.com/libcheck/check/commit/3987c1d906ee68e0a6a5fd7888d88e0873f914d9
