Details:

bug #32840 introduced a change of path for the installation of arch dependent
files, the libdir path replaces the old libexec one.

The default template Makefile for octave packages
(http://svn.code.sf.net/p/octave/code/trunk/octave-forge/packages/package_Makefile.in)
still contains a reference to the old libexec path and the problem is
triggered when DESTDIR is set during "make install". If a distribution's
package manager (e.g. Gentoo) uses this solution, the arch dependent files are
installed in the wrong path (comparing to the search path built automatically
by pkg("load", "auto") at startup) making the package not usable.

I'm attaching a simple patch to solve the issue.
