guess that depends on Emacs installation; personally, i build Emacs from
git sources and run it from build directory (which is not uncommon)); in
this case 'exec-path' doesn't contain the above path;
/usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin might be better candidates

I build ada-mode from git sources and run it from there: I haven't installed the ada-mode packages, but I have installed other-frame-window (was that needed?) and uniquify-files.
