Weird.  I cannot reproduce this on a slightly different 64-bit Ubuntu  
Linux box:

	gcc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)

	Linux teevie 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT \
		Sat Sep 16 01:50:50 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I did have to run the test as follows to get it to load libmk4.so:
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. make test

Looking at what symbols are reported, I get the impression that these  
were dead-stripped for some reason, yet still required.

Would recompiling everything with -Dq4_INLINE=0 solve it, perhaps?   
Is there a mismatch in that setting between regress and the MK lib  
itself?  Or maybe the test is loading the wrong shared lib?  I'm  
running my tests with MK not installed anywhere.
