This is broken, then. sshd should be in root's path, ergo the Makefile
should not assume that it is a libexecdir type of binary.

This one actually breaks either method. First, some of the binaries are
called by locate and belong in /usr/lib. Second, some of the binaries
could well be called directly, but are deprecated hence the developers
decided to just move them to libexecdir and not actually stop compiling
them.

FYI, it's --libexecdir=/usr/lib/locate, not /usr/lib/findutils which
technically breaks all idea of /usr/lib/packagename.
