r21729 should not have libgncmod-business-core.so anymore. The complete 
business-core module was merged into other parts of the source tree.

I'm not sure what is the best method (read with least impact) to fix this, but 
on my system I brute-force fixed this as follows:
1. Remove the directory in which gnucash gets installed and built
2. remove my build directory (I do build in a directory separate from the 
source directory, makes this kind of operations much easier.
3. rerun autogen.sh, configure, make, ...

I'm sure the same effect can be had by more subtle changes, but I don't know 
that magic mantra.
