He, he.

Generally I prefer explicit over implicit (having the full paths make
troubleshooting easier), but in this case you have the additional aspect
of the lo_import operating relative to the client, while lo_export
operates relative to the server. If you remove @abs_builddir@ on the
first one, you might e.g. get problems like this:

   SELECT lo_export(loid, 'results/lotest.txt') FROM lotest_stash_values;
   ERROR:  could not create server file "results/lotest.txt": No such
   file or directory
