Comment:

 You could reproduce it by giving those three lines
 {{{
 | if test "$libexecdir" = '${exec_prefix}/libexec' ; then
 |       libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/lib'
 | fi
 }}}
 in your site-config script.

 Interestingly for example, the ECL package among others installs
 excutables outside `bin/` too but specifies `lib` as path instead of
 `libexec`. So it seems both the distributions and the packages have their
 say in the matter, and git is unfortunate to not commit to `lib`, as it is
 suggested by the standard.
