In the prebuilt binaries, fns-21.2.9X-1.el is in bin/ and exec-directory
points to that directory. In my MSVC 6.0 builds it's also correct.
OTOH, I always build in the source tree; I don't use --prefix.

In which case does exec-directory point to a directory other than bin/?
It is perhaps related to using --prefix?
