No, you shouldn't ... the initdb script should preferentially find
postgres in the directory it itself is invoked from, which should be
in the temporary installation built by pg_regress.  The fact that it's
failing to do so (and instead looking into where the final installation
will be) suggests some portability glitch in one or the other of these
scripts.  If you can figure out what's going wrong we'd be much obliged.
See the "self_path" manipulations in initdb.
