I have no idea what is "the correct" fix here, because I don't
know how many uses are (or will be) using --program-suffix.

If --program-suffix is ever being used, however, I feel the problem
that it doesn't work for qt terminal is somewhat more serious,
because the finally installed gnuplot (not 'make check') is broken.
It may be fixed by, for example, importing the method used in
term/x11.term (line 218-222) to src/qtterminal/qt_term.cpp (line 228).
But if nobody is complaining about this problem, maybe it can be left
as is (probably only very few people are using --program-suffix).
