This is a follow-up patch to 49fa65a (Allow the built-in exec path to be
relative to the command invocation path, 2008-07-23).  Without specific
gitexecdir passed from the command line, git-gui's build procedure would
try to figure out the value for it by running an installed git.

Ack.  I noticed this yesterday while looking at the git Makefile but
forgot to send a patch for it myself.  Thanks Junio.
