Can I document this? This seems like the best "standard" way to run
make check if we don't want to depend on the compiler search paths. I'm
not sure if the 'check' target runs ldconfig before it runs the
testsuite but it shouldn't hurt to do that unless you're running with
--prefix=/usr since then you'll be updating the system ld.so.cache
with a potentially buggy version of ldconfig.
