I've since realised that this problem is actually a linking issue,  
not a compile issue.

There are three options (that I know of):
   - ld.so.conf
   - LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime
   - LD_RUN_PATH at compile time (or some variation of, using linker  
flags)

This is not a problem on the Nagios Plugins because we use libtool  
which adds in the correct linker flags, which is why check_mysql  
works okay (run ldd check_mysql and it will find the mysql libraries  
in the non-standard directories).

This has not been included in the Altinity patch for NDO utils  
because libtool is a bit of a sledgehammer to crack this nut.
