I see.  Then I think passing --with-lib to s6’s configure script is the
right thing.

Alternately, if you think other packages will need this in the future,
you could pass execline’s configure something like --libdir=PREFIX/lib
to have the library installed to that place instead of
PREFIX/lib/libexec.

Could, you send an updated patch?

TIA!
