Not that I'm suggesting you shouldn't fix binreloc, I just wonder if
the uninstalled bypass is broken.
GNC_BUILDDIR works, but it has some other side effects which may not be

I remember having some discussion about this in the past (I believe on irc)
about binreloc and a
potential c++ replacement. Perhaps it's one of the links in the SO you refer
to, I don't

I've had some fixes in binreloc.c for some time that I'm trying to clean
up and commit. Part of the problem is that _br_find_exe doesn't work at

MAC_INTEGRATION is not
