My change that made 'share' a symlink seems a likely candidate, but I hope we 
can avoid simply reverting that, lest it require everyone to wipe their build 
directories and rebuild from scratch to avoid weird side effects.  I took pains 
to keep "make check" working with older baselines across that change, but I put 
no effort (or thought) into supporting a move back to the past.

I will attempt to build gub to reproduce and diagnose this issue.  If you think 
my time would be better spent preparing a patch that cleanly undoes the 'share' 
change, I'm open to hearing it.
