Unless there was a special reason to use git-init-db from $PATH, could
the patch below be accepted? It makes the test suite use git-init-db
from the "the binaries we have just built".

A few lines above what you patched we do make sure the PATH
starts with the top of the build directory where you would find
git-init-db we have just built, so unless I am missing something...

You do miss something. glibc will happily continue lookup if
git-init-db in the top of the build directory is not executable, and
it will take the next one it finds (and people _will_ have git-init-db
in PATH).
