The erlexec project has a rebar.config.script file, that is used
alongside rebar.config to provide the correct configuration for
compilation:

https://github.com/saleyn/erlexec/blob/master/rebar.config.script

I would expect Rebar to print "DEBUG: Evaluating config file", but
instead I see "DEBUG: Consult config file" in the output.  (See
rebar_config:consult_file and rebar_config:consult_and_eval if you're
curious.)  That suggests that your rebar is too old.  What does "rebar
--version" say?
