[racket-dev] mzscheme executable broken when using --enable-shared

I tried a build with `--enable-shared' and the generated `mzscheme'
executable worked for me, so it's not just `--enable-shared' that
causes the problem.

If you run the `starter' executable in the Racket "lib" directory, do
you get an error like this?

  lib/starter: this is an unconfigured starter

The `mzscheme' and `mred' executables are created by cloning and
configuring `starter', so something could be going wrong either in the
creation of `starter' or in copying and configuring it.

Thanks,
Matthew
