Is this the LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue? This message:
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2004-September/015412.html
explains the issue very well and even gives the solution: create a script
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$GISBASE/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec "$@"

This would need to be held in the source tree as a shell script source, 
then at compile time the Makefile could run a sed command to replace 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR with the name of the variable as used on the 
particular system (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for Mac OSX and PATH for Cygwin are 
the only two different ones I've come across). See the Makefile for 
lib/init for an example of this.
As Glynn suggested, ${GISBASE}/etc/grass-run.sh would be a good location 
and name for the short script.
