The run rule is declared as:

rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * :
target-name ? : default-build * )

You'll want to pass the target in input-files:

run shared_library_load_test.cpp : : test_library ;

This will add the path to test_library to the
command line arguments when the test is run.
