Yep, you're right. I was expecting:
- Shared library issues at runtime to be visible using ldd(1)
- To at least be able to get command-line help or version (-v) 
information from rsyslogd (without loadable modules)
- A nicer error message ;-)

strace ./rsyslogd -v -b -n 2>&1 | grep ENOENT    
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/usr/lib/rsyslog/lmnet.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)

Can the module path (/usr/lib/rsyslog) be specified? Is there a 
./configure option that I'm missing at compile time or a command line 
parameter to rsyslogd or config file parameter in rsyslog.conf? I've 
been through ./configure --help, rsyslogd.8 and rsyslog.conf.5 and can't 
seem to find anything?

It's very early in the US and I might just be missing something obvious.
