I don't think you needed to qualify that by saying "for gcc they may not be"; it applies to anything that uses autotools. As long as configure offers the user --bindir, --libdir, and all these other options for freely renaming and re-laying-out the $prefix structure during a configure and build, I think that we need to support them, with a more general approach that will DTRT no matter how the user configures their build.
The assumption that $bindir is $libdir/../bin has been there for some time; anyone using a nonconformant --bindir= is on their own anyway regardless of this patch.
