I've been running it at /var/w3/typo3_src-3.8.1/gm like, forever ;)

/usr/local/php/bin is only standard in SuSE.

And?

if (ini_get('safe_mode')) {
            $paths=array(ini_get('safe_mode_exec_dir'),'/usr/local/php/bin/');
        }

means TYPO3 will check for GM _both_ the directory(ies) specified in
safe_mode_exec_dir and /usr/local/php/bin. The answer to your question
"How can I change here that the existing path will be used instead of
the not extistant php subdirectory?" was not to change anything there,
but to add that existing path as a value for safe_mode_exec_dir
parameter in php.ini.
