   Evidently something created that directory on your Linux system, but it's not   
   used by anything.   
      
   In FreeBSD, /usr/local/bin is where most binaries are installed by the FreeBSD   
   package manager (pkg), versus /usr/bin, where some of the base system binaries   
   are installed.   
      
   (In FreeBSD 10.x and earlier the base system is effectively installed from   
   tarballs, but I understand they're moving to using pkg for the base system in   
   FreeBSD 11.x and later.)
