Quoting from ld.so.1(1) from a SunOs 5.9 (Solaris 9) system:


     LD_LIBRARY_PATH
           The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, if  set,  is
           used  to  enhance  the  search  path  that the runtime
           linker   uses   to    find    dynamic    dependencies.
           LD_LIBRARY_PATH  specifies  a  colon-separated list of
           directories  that  are  searched  before  the  default
           directories.  Also  notice  that  LD_LIBRARY_PATH adds
           additional semantics to ld(1).


NB: The proposed patch does not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for ld(1) calls, but
only for running the testsuite.

Alternatively, setting -rpath for the test binaries could be considered
(with both gnu and solaris toolchains support, btw).
