Comment (by darchon):

 I guess I can answer my own question, the testsuite sets up a correct
 `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
 Indeed:
 {{{
 /opt/ghc/7.6.3/src/ghc/testsuite (ghc-7.6)$ export
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ghc/7.6.3/src/ghc/libraries/base/dist-
 install/build/:/opt/ghc/7.6.3/src/ghc/libraries/integer-gmp/dist-
 install/build/:/opt/ghc/7.6.3/src/ghc/libraries/ghc-prim/dist-
 install/build/:/opt/ghc/7.6.3/src/ghc/rts/dist/build/;
 tests/programs/10queens/10queens
 724
 }}}
 runs the executable without problems.

 Of course, `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` was never set for executables that ran
 "outside" of the testsuite.
 So in a way, the testsuite and an installed GHC were "misaligned".
 Seeing how as of 7.8 the testsuite and an installed GHC are "aligned", I
 guess the status of this ticket should be turned to either `solved` or
 `wontfix`?
