4.0x. The comment also indicate, that it isn't missing a path. Seems
like "/boot/extlinux" was supported via "install path".

When calling "extlinux --install /custom/path" you will see, that the
generated "ldlinux.sys" will contain the specified path.

I think that renaming is working for me, because of the fall back path
in loadconfig.c.

So I think there must be a bug somewhere else, that not every component
is aware of the custom path?
