Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
yaz could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it embeds the absolute build path into the /usr/bin/
yaz-config file.

A patch is attached. As this path will not exist at runtime, assuming
that yaz works today (!), then the application of this patch could be
reasoned to therefore be harmless.
