Mmm ... what of "make check"'s temporary installation? We need
to have the executables search in the temporary install's libdir,
*before* looking in the configured --libdir (which could easily
contain an incompatible back-version libpq ...)

pg_regress normally tries to handle this by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
... does AIX use that or a similar symbol?
