All above looks fine to me.  The linker should use the library in the
first -R directory, which should be the newly built version.

Yes.

No, test_ntlm is a real binary and no script.  However, libtool should
set the right -R flags during building, so that the binary will use the
newly built library rather than the system library.  During 'make
install' the binary is re-linked to use the system library only.
