May I ask what you use them for?
acpisrc only use (afaiu) is to prepare the acpi interpreter sources to
be used in the linux kernel, acpiexec is only really useful for bios
developers (this I could enable, really, but have you got some use case
for it?). Also, acpiexec is probably unusable anywhere but x86.

thanks
