It would use an unexpanded "libdir" variable to replace all the libdir entries
in the configuration and code (the embedded gmond configuration), so if no
configuration was available and --libdir wasn't used it will end up trying to
load all modules from a directory named literally :
${exec_prefix}/lib

It should had been broken in alpha as well (if you still have one of those and
the host I guessed is right)
please use the alternative proposed patch instead, which is IMHO the only safe
way to ensure this patch doesn't break something else.
