Someone please check my links; it takes awhile to build, so I don't want to do it over:

post-destroot {
    # link the executables back

    ln -s ${prefix}/bin/FreeCAD \
        ${prefix}/libexec/${name}/bin/FreeCAD
    ln -s ${prefix}/bin/FreeCADCmd \
        ${prefix}/libexec/${name}/bin/FreeCADCmd
}

Thanks

Mark
