tools, configure: Fix LIB_PATH computation in configure scripts

tool's configure script sets LIB_PATH by chopping off ${exec_prefix}
from $libdir and it does so by computing length of ${exec_prefix} value.
However, $libdir's value is a literal '${exec_prefix}/lib' string
(i.e. $exec_prefix is not substituted) and therefore LIB_PATH may be
computed incorrectly, most likely as "c_prefix}/lib64" assuming that
exec_prefix is NONE.

Instead, we should start at offset `expr length '${exec_prefix}/'
(which is 15).
