The destination needs to be created in the destroot, pointing to where the source will be not in the destroot.

post-destroot {
   # link the executables back

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

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