src/Makefile.global contains:

Does this definition come in to play in the make done down
in the src/test/regress directory? src/test/regress/README
Instructions state:
" To prepare for regression testing, do "make all" in the regression test
directory. This compiles a 'C' program with PostgreSQL extension functions
..."

- From what I am seeing, it does not. I have not added any
definitions of LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBDIR elsewhere such as in the
/etc/profile file (did make the suggested entry in the /etc/ld.so.conf).

Did run ldconfig.

Instructions correctly say to run ldconfig after editing /etc/ld.so.conf.
No doc changes on ldconfig are needed.
