Anything there should be pretty normal tools that any user might be interested in. Don't seem to me as makesyscalls would be a tool like that?As config(1) is in /usr/bin that seems the best place for makesyscalls too.
Ouch! What a rabbit hole! I should be quiet now. :-)(I don't really think config makes any sense at all to have in /usr/bin... ;-) )
I would expect that the generated files would have the developer uid and gid, I wouldn't want them owned by root.
I guess I fail to see the problem there. That all depends on who is running it, and where the files are placed. Don't really matter where the tool is located.
