OK -- rebuilt without '--disable-shared', and
=======================
All 114 tests passed.
=======================

1) Should the Docs note that '--disable-shared' will prevent the compile
time regression checks from running
2) Should the compilation note to the user that '--disable-shared' will
prevent compile time regression checks from running
3) should the error message output when regression fails for the above
reason not be along the lines of
...snip...
gmake[2]: stat:regress.so: There are too many levels of symbolic links to translate a path name.
rm -f regress.so
ln -s regress.so
gmake[2]: stat:regress.so: There are too many levels of symbolic links to translate a path name.
...snip...
4) if '--disable-shared' is passed, should the user be notified that
compile time regression checks will be skipped ( and then skip them ).
