The etk binary and the shared library was intentionally put in
bin/$(TARGET) in lib/etk/c_src/Makefile.in, when you run make install
they are put in the right place.

The reason for building in an architecture private directory being
that it should be possible to build for several platforms in one
subdir without doing make clean in between. (The downside with this is
that you can't run the application "in place", you have to do a make
install. This is unfortunately solved different ways for different
applications, e.g. os_mon works in this way but gs doesn't.)
