subversion 1.2.0 "make check" does not operate correctly under certain circumstances

The 1.2.0 "make check" used the wrong libraries if another version is installed in a location such as /usr/local. I originally installed subversion 1.1.4 in /usr/local. When 1.2.0 was released I "reinstalled" 1.1.4 into /usr/ local/subversion-1.1.4 but forgot to remove the libraries from /usr/ local/lib. When I ran the "make check" in the 1.2.0 directories the "make check" appears to have used the 1.1.4 libraries that were sitting in /usr/local/lib. Whem I reinstalled subversion 1.1.4 in /usr/local/subversion-1.1.4 and subversion 1.2.0 in /usr/local/subversion-1.2.0 and insure no subversion lbiraries were left in /usr/local/lib both sets of "make check" ran correctly.

It should have used the libraries in the 1.2.0 build tree and not the /usr/local/lib directory. When I removed the libraries from /usr/local/lib the 1.2.0 "make check" ran correctly as does the 1.1.4 "make check". I suspect this type of problem is going to become more prevelant as people upgrade between releases and run "make check" to perform some baisc build validation checks prior to doing a "make install". The newer release is going to end-up getting the older releases libraries and then fail.
