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).

Boris, sorry for letting this languish for so long.
Roger, any opinion on this patch?

If I'm reading the script right this is the else clause of
[AS_IF([test "\${exec_prefix}/lib" = "$libdir"],
so at this point we know libdir != ${exec_prefix}/lib, is there any
guarantee that it even starts with \${exec_prefix} ?
I think this patch is complementary too rather than conflicting with /
subsumed by Matt's "tools: honour --libdir when it is passed
to ./configure" ?
I think this patch is not needed anymore if we apply Matt's one, since
Matt's patch gets rid of LIB_PATH usage, and instead uses exec_prefix
and libdir directly.
So Matt's patch could/should remove tools/m4/default_lib.m4?
Yes, I've already replied to that thread also :)
