Why won't the loader look for them in the right place?

Is this the ancient Debian libtool issue, or something else?

Asking because fixing the loader seems to be a more correct solution
than fixing EVERYONE who runs the auth-test binary to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
first.

(Consider people who run it outside of 'make check' --- 'cd sth &&
./auth-test 5')
