Thanks for implementing that. It simplifies build2 packages a bit on
Fedora (and I suppose SUSE).

Is there a reason for using angle brackets to do the command-line
variable substitution? Since it's on the shell, I can see how $project
might be confusing. On the other hand, since < and > also have shell
semantics (i.e. redirection), the argument must be shell quoted as
well as indicated in [2].

So maybe quoting like

b config.install.libexec='exec_root/lib/$project/'

wouldn't be so bad. It would then be consistent with the buildfile
variable syntax.

Great, looking forward to it.

Done[1], everything seems in order.
