That hasn't been my experience.  "./configure" followed by "make"
puts a "bash" executable file in the top-level directory, but doesn't
do anything in ./examples/loadables/ at all.

After "make", I copy the "bash" program to /usr/local/bin/bash-whatever
and then adjust the symbolic links that I keep there.  I do not use
"make install".
