This looks like an unrelated change at best and should probably be part
of a separate patch.

Also the only thing that seems to be installed in $LTPROOT/bin/ that
could be potentially used by tests is the ffsb tool, that we are going
to get rid anyways. So I would have avoided including it in the example
anyways.
