Ok, this was my fault. Not wanting to overwrite the existing install of 
"check" since I was testing, I put it in /usr/local. I then neglected to 
add /usr/local/lib to my LIBRARY_PATH. _ck_assert_failed is the name of 
the function, complete with leading underscore. When I allowed the 
linker to actually link against the correct version of the library, 
things worked much better.

I then ran into the following error:
Running suite(s): Basic
/home/Chris/Stuff/non-GNU/libpipeline/build/tests/./.libs/basic: can't 
execute sh: No such file or directory
87%: Checks: 8, Failures: 0, Errors: 1
../../libpipeline-1.2.6/tests/basic.c:170:E:clearenv:test_basic_clearenv:0: 
(after this point) Received signal 11 (Segmentation fault)

That's the only failure. 6 other tests pass.

I'm not yet sure why it can't find "sh" unless it's not looking in $PATH 
or $PATH has been obliterated somehow.

Still digging...
