I still don't know why make deletes those files, maybe I'll
try to trace that later.

The errors I'm seeing upon loading the regress.so file are
a little baffling to me.  The path mentioned in the error
message to the shared object library is correct, and if I
load the file into emacs, I can find the symbol it is complaining
about (or at least a text string with that symbol, in this
case the symbol is CurrentMemoryContext).  If I run
objdump on the file, I get the following for CurrentMemoryContext:
00000000        *UND*  00000000 CurrentMemoryContext

I'm sort of guessing that somehow my mishmash of Solaris
and GNU is building a bad shared object file.  But having
never debugged anything like this before, the going is slow.
