Phew.  I was worried I might have to start drinking much earlier than

Without looking closely at the make files and build logic, is it
perhaps something caused by the previous Fedora git-1.6.0.x packages
passing gitexecdir=%{_bindir} to make, while the F-11 and newer
packages do not set any gitexecdir?
