Comment (by amosrobinson):

 I'm using the binary from `inplace/bin/` because that's how I've always
 done it - I thought that //was// the //normal// way. The only reason I was
 using libraries from `bindisttest/install   dir/lib/` is because that's
 how I managed to get it to work.

 OK! So, if I set my path to `bindisttest/install   dir/bin/` instead of
 `inplace/bin/` it works without the dodgy symlinks. That's good enough for
 now.

 I feel that this is a bug: it was my understanding `inplace` is supposed
 to work the same as an installed copy, but I'll file a separate ticket.
 Thanks!
