This is fixed by:

diff --git a/mktree.c b/mktree.c
index e0da110..9545c96 100644
--- a/mktree.c
+++ b/mktree.c
@@ -70,6 +70,9 @@ int main(int ac, char **av)
         unsigned char sha1[20];
         int line_termination = '\n';

+       if (argv[0] && *argv[0])
+               git_extract_argv0_path(argv[0]);
+
         setup_git_directory();

         while ((1 < ac) && av[1][0] == '-') {


I'll create an updated installer soon.
