There is no 'namecoin' binary generated nor installed, it overwrites existing 'bitcoin' binary.

Hi, thanks for the bug report. TIL there's now a bitcoin binary in Bitcoin Core; this appears to be the multiprocess wrapper introduced by bitcoin/bitcoin#31375.

@domob1812 would you like to fix this or would you prefer that I do the fix?

If you have the bandwidth for it, please go ahead :)
