This used to be a supported way of running the test suite -- Cygnus
releng did things this way. The idea was, you test the install tree,
not the build tree (IMO a smart thing to do if you're shipping a
binary install).
I don't know if anybody presently relies on this functionality. I
wouldn't be opposed to an error by default, with some simple way to
re-enable PATH searching. In fact I think an error by default is the
most sensible thing.
