And that's where autoconf strikes, LIBDIR isn't known during 
"make all".

configure:
# Installation directory options.
# These are left unexpanded so users can "make install 
# exec_prefix=/foo" and all the variables that are supposed to be
# based on exec_prefix by default will actually change.

Thus

(gdb) print AUTOCONF_LIBDIR 
$1 = 0x58a8ce "${exec_prefix}/lib64"

as bitcc.cxx isn't recompiled and re-linked during "make install".
