No, any executable that comes in a .rpm package go to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin.
Programs that are started during the system start go to /usr/sbin and the rest
to /usr/bin. Since normally binkd works as a daemon and is started during the
system start, it should be installed in /usr/sbin.
If Martin's system is rpm-based, then building binkd is simple:
rpmbuild -ta binkd.tar.gz
