This is a problem with the build environment. You need to re-run
libtoolize. The Makefile.am for e-d-s is correct. The problem is
that libtool is creating a directory with the same name as the
binary is being copied to. This means that when the binary is
copied, it gets placed in the versioned directory, without the
version as part of the binary's filename itself.
