go install generates target in src instead of bin directory in a special case

[gopherbot]

by xapwing:

go version = 1.0.2

windows 7

gopath=c:\dir1;c:\dir2

directory structure:
c:\dir1\src\
           hello\
               hello.go
c:\dir1\bin
c:\dir2\src\
           hello\
               hello.go
c:\dir2\bin

Trigger of the problem:
I run "go install" in either of the "hello" directories

What is the expected output?
  a generated hello.exe in the "bin" directory related to the base dir where the src dir is in

What do you see instead?
   hello.exe is generated in the same "hello" directory as the source hello.go is

Conclusion so far:
   if the same project name occurs in more than one subpaths of a gopath, go install will behave differently and put the .exe file not in the bin but in the src directory

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?


Which operating system are you using?


Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
