After a few attempts, it appears that the issue was that I had already
run "make check" in my build directory beforehand, so even though I then
copied over the .so files to the build directory top level, it did not
populate them into the testroot.pristine nor testroot.root directories
for the following "make check".
If I delete both testroot.pristine and testroot.root, and make check
after making sure both .so are in the toplevel build directory, then
they are copied over to testroot.pristine, but testroot.root is not
created at all (and the test still fails).
Starting from a brand new empty build directory, and copying the .so
files before the first make check gets the test to run fine! By doing so,
the .so are copied into testroot.pristine and testroot.root.
Thanks,
Mathieu
