The reason for the renaming is that postinst_intercept logic will try to 
execute the binary with the mlprefix, when running populate_sdk. I think 
this is not gonna work with your patch, and the bug does not mention 
that you tried it.

I think the better approach is to accommodate the exe suffix when doing 
the move:

mv -v ${D}${libexecdir}/gio-querymodules${EXEEXT} 
${D}${libexecdir}/${MLPREFIX}gio-querymodules${EXEEXT}
