It's likely this has been fixed as part of the change to bug#31736, as it should use the default setting in sql/unireg.h for PLUGINDIR which was updated.  Once pushed I will check the results from pushbuild, so will take ownership of this bug.

This was indeed fixed by the related bug, close this one belatedly too...
