I am not sure what of my patches you are referring to. One bug
in dejagnu is the wrong library will be used if the build is done
in ${prefix}/foo. It can happen if you have

prefix=/usr

and you build your stuff in

/usr/stuff

Under /usr, there are many things dejagnu is looking for, like

/usr/cpu-vendor-os/lib

which is created by "make install".
