Yes, I was going to send a patch along the same lines as what you have
just committed. Thanks! It looks that the binary was installed in my
own PATH, so I did not notice it.

This should definitely get back-patched in my opinion, I have similar
problems with pg_rewind tests of 9.3 and 9.4 that I still maintain out
of the core tree, where the main binary needs to be installed first. In
this case I just used some Makefile trick.
