Thanks... I'm a bit stupid. I thought the value of EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
was reported in the parent directory definitions.
Since my helper programs are in the same directory as some
'normal' ones, I will move them in a subdirectory.

But I still have a question: is it normal to add the value 
EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
before OUTPUT_NAME if it is an absolute path ?
