I'd prefer not to introduce more $abs_top_builddir references if

How about we just warn about and avoid found coreutils dispatchers?
I also noticed other questionable uses of $abs_top_builddir in tests/
which I've also cleaned up in the attached.
Yes, I wasn't a huge fan of my fix either. Your change looks good to me,
and adding the functions to init.cfg is a nice cleanup in general.
I also noticed one use of $abs_path_dir_ in the tests, which
tests/init.sh sets. However, I assumed you'd like to use the cmd_exe
function there as well, even if only for consistency's sake.

That's sufficiently different, that I pushed it separately in your name.
thanks,
