After another bug report by Bruno Haible, Ulrich and myself nailed
this finally down to a bug in the testsuite.  The problem occured only 
when building in the source directory since in this case
LD_LIBRARY_PATH contained some relative paths and the test program did 
a chdir to another directory which invalidated those relative paths.

The feedback from people that had problems with globtest so far is
that the appended patch indeed fixes the problem.
