it's not entirely clear to me where your problem lies.

running ./src/pd works fine for me.
when changing code and recompiling e.g. using "make -C src", i get an
updated Pd-binary which i can call with ./src/pd.
(or if you prefer to work from ./src:
$ make && ./pd
)

i don't see a reason to copy anything to bin/, _unless_ you need rt
priorities.
in this case it might be easier to just do
$ cd src/
$ ln -s . bin
so you get a symlink /path/to/pdsrc/src/bin -> /path/to/pdsrc/src/

for convenience (and compat with older workflows) you might want to do
an additional symlink /path/to/pdsrc/bin -> /path/to/pdsrc/src/


the reason why src/pd is a script rather than a binary, is that Pd
dynamically links to portaudio; in order to use the correct
libportaudio.so (the one that lives in .../pdsrc/portaudio rather than
the one that lives in /usr/lib/), some LD_LIBRARY_PATH magic is
needed, which is done in the script version of src/pd
(which reminds me that we should add a flag to configure, that
disables the use of the built-in portaudio, and rather uses the
version installed on the system)
