It's been awhile since I tried to work on a Mac that has System Integrity
Protection turned on, but I think that SIP causes "make check" to fail
in more or less this way, because (for no defensible reason) it strips
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment that's passed down to psql,
causing failure to find the right libpq.dylib file.

If you don't wish to turn off SIP, a workaround is to do "make install"
before "make check".
