New description:
The Unix Filesystem Hierarchy Standard advises '*/lib' as a place for
libraries but in version 2.3 allows other '*/lib*' paths. The package
install script `configure` thus assumes (maybe not on all systems) that,
if no `execdir` is given, `*/lib` should be used. This leads to doctest
fails in `dev/sagedev.py` caused by mismatch between GIT_EXEC_PATH in `bin
/sage-env` (which hardcodes `local/libexec`) and the actual `execdir` used
in the git install (which is `local/lib` on SuSE and other systems if it's
not preset with the configure command), introduced with #15901.
