Very, very, strange :-(

Meaning that all the other test and the other toolsets use the correct
paths, and work?

I'm fairly sure it has to do with the changes I made. I just don't see how
such a problem should only affect a limited set of tests on only 1 toolset.
If it was broken I would think it would be broken for all tests and
toolsets.
