Try something like this:
all-local: hello
cp hello someplace
Richard> cp -p hello $(top_srcdir)/bin
In general you don't want to put anything in srcdir.
You particularly don't want to copy an executable there.
Instead use $(top_builddir).

There's no really good way to do this.
You can make it work by introducing your own `hello' target which
does the link itself and then does the copy.
Or you can name the executable differently in the build tree:
noinst_PROGRAMS = hellox
hellox_SOURCES = hello.c
all-local: hello
hello: hellox
cp hellox $(top_builddir)/bin/hello
Why do you want to copy things around during the build?
Why not just use them where they lie?
