The question is whether an extension, when running it's own "check" code,
would need to pull in other extensions in addition to its own that was
just built. I added it for general safety, because that COULD happen, and
because I had no idea that it would break MinGW. But I don't know that
it actually DOES happen so far, and I'm not sure it's a terribly
likely scenario.

Like I said, I'll test whether removing that breaks "make check" for
any of the existing extensions. No need to worry about it further
until I report back.
