Update INSTALL.
Add a note about failing "make check". The source of
the problem should be fixed in libtool (if it really is
a libtool bug and not mine) but I'm unable to spend time
on that for now. Thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe for reporting
the issue.
Add a note about a possible need to run "ldconfig" after
"make install".

+4.5. "make check" fails
+
+ A likely reason is that libtool links the test programs against
+ an installed version of liblzma instead of the version that was
+ just built. This is obviously a bug which seems to happen on
+ some platforms. A workaround is to uninstall the old liblzma
+ versions first.
+
+ If the problem isn't the one described above, then it's likely
+ a bug in XZ Utils or in the compiler. See the platform-specific
+ notes in this file for possible known problems. Please report
+ a bug if you cannot solve the problem. See README for contact
+ information.

+ If you installed the package with "make install" and get an error
+ about liblzma.so (or a similarly named file) being missing, try
+ running "ldconfig" to update the run-time linker cache (if your
+ operating system has such a command).
