Aha, thanks.

This appears to succeed in what it's supposed to do--running ldd on my
module now correctly lists the dependency rather than "not found".
However, it did not accomplish my objective, which was to get my module
loading correctly (it's a Mozilla plug-in). Mysteriously, loading still
fails with a complaint about a missing symbol--a symbol I know to be in
in this library to which I'm explictly encoding a path.
