$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.13.4
BuildVersion: 17E199
$ csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: enabled.
$ make -s -C src/interfaces/ecpg check
... snip ...
======================
 All 58 tests passed.

Hmm... why does this work for me... let's see where it gets libraries from:

$ otool -L src/interfaces/ecpg/test/pgtypeslib/dt_test
src/interfaces/ecpg/test/pgtypeslib/dt_test:
/Users/munro/install/postgres2/lib/libecpg.6.dylib (compatibility
version 6.0.0, current version 6.12.0)
/Users/munro/install/postgres2/lib/libpgtypes.3.dylib (compatibility
version 3.0.0, current version 3.12.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1252.50.4)

Aha!  It looks like it was important to run "make install" before
running those tests.  Let's see what happens if I remove those
libraries and try again:

...
test pgtypeslib/dt_test           ... stdout stderr FAILED (test
process was terminated by signal 6: Abort trap)
...

Same result as Chris.
