If that's all what is done with defines getting the enable working
just a few lines change.

Does anyone care, both are in every ones PATH? If I look wiki article
about files system hierarchy it says:
/bin/ Essential command binaries that need to be available in single
user mode; for all users, e.g., cat, ls, cp.
/usr/bin/ Non-essential command binaries (not needed in single user
mode); for all users.
and assuming that is (even half) true the correct location for top is
possibly /usr/bin. If you don't like the path submit a Makefile.am
patch, maybe it will be approved. Notice that the patch should not
break HAVE_NCURSES check e.g. you cannot simply move top to a
bin_PROGRAMS segment where there is kill.
