We get:-
FAIL: execdir-in-unreadable.old-O0, /home/james/source/GNU/findutils/cvs/4.3/ftscwd/compile/find/testsuite/../oldfind: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find. Please remove the current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove "." or leading or trailing colons)

We should get the same behaviour as other tests which use -execdir :-
WARNING: Cannot perform test as your $PATH environment variable includes a reference to the current directory or a directory name which is not absolute
