Just as a FYI, I finally found some confirmation on behavior on Linux
of the test suite and LLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

To quote one source:

"> Why not just use setenv()/putenv() to alter LD_LIBRARY_PATH within
> your program before calling dlopen?

I have not tested this, but suspect that this would be entirely
pointless: both Linux and Solaris runtime loaders evaluate LD_*
environment variables once (very early in process startup). After
that, you can modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH all you want, and will not
change anything."

So that is exactly what I had suspected.  The runtime loaders evaluate
LD_LIBRARY_PATH very early when the interpreter is starting up.  Then,
when I augment the path after the ooTest framework starts executing,
it is too late and has no effect.
