#1366: linking tests fail when "make check" is run without installing first

     Type:  defect                    |                Status:  new
 Priority:  major                     |             Milestone:  5.0
Component:  compiler                  |               Version:  5.0
 Keywords:  csc, tests, linker, make  |  Estimated difficulty:  easy
--------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 This is similar to #1347, but the failure occurs during the linking tests
 due to the use of an absolute path to libchicken.a. When running "make
 check" without a "make install", that file doesn't exist:
