Comment(by richard):

 To answer the question in comment 4, the python bindings were failing on
 make, whereas the other bindings were failing only on make check.

 The attached patch contains a possible solution to this; ie, set
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH directly, to point to the location that the xapian core
 library would be found when running an uninstalled SVN build.  This seems
 rather horrible, but I implemented it for python to check the theory, and
 with the patch applied both "make" and "make check" succeed for OSX.

 I tried to see if libtool has got anywhere with implementing this, but
 with no success.  I think our options are either to apply a hack similar
 to that attached, or to upgrade to a version of libtool which fixes the
 problem (which may involve creating such a version of libtool!).
