It replaces @libdir@ with ${exec_prefix}/lib.  It appears the
configure code expects the replacement to occour in a Makefile, so
${exec_prefix} can be replaced in Makefile.global.  However,
$exec_prefix is not in Makefile.global, so maybe it is just a problem
with configure that $exec_prefix is replace before @libdir@, and
libdir's that contain exec_prefix have a problem.

However, it appears the default value of libdir contains exec_prefix, so
you would think they would have found such a problem themselves in
testing.

I am confused.
