The numactl sources have been recently uploaded to this git repository:

Yes, this was fixed in this commit:
https://github.com/numactl/numactl/commit/25c052affbbcd2df0f67376d18d3ac4028326175

It's more general, as it adds the build directory to $PATH and it also
works when an out-of-tree build is used.

May I suggest that you upgrade to the latest 2.0.10 which does contain this fix?

Cheers,
Filipe
