The testsuite for updatedb currently breaks if find and frcode are
not installed relative to $BINDIR, where BINDIR defaults to @bindir@
from ./configure.
Using /home/eblake/findutils/locate/testsuite/config/unix.exp as
tool-and-target-specific interface file.

Looking closer at exists1.exp, it tries to invoke the following for
the default ./configure --prefix=/usr/local:
$ ~/findutils/locate/updatedb --changecwd=. --output=tmp/locatedb
--localpaths=tmp/subdir/
/home/eblake/findutils/locate/updatedb: line 203: /usr/local/bin/find: No such
file or directory
/home/eblake/findutils/locate/updatedb: line 222: /usr/local/libexec/frcode: No
such file or directory
Failed to generate tmp/locatedb.n
It would be nicer if the testsuite could guarantee that when testing
an uninstalled just-built locate, that updatedb attempts
to use the just-built versions of find and frcode, rather than falling back
on installed versions. This may take some work to the testsuite
and/or updatedb, since setting $BINDIR to findutils/find will not see
the same directory structure as setting it to ${exec-prefix}/bin.
