I don't understand how suexec is "calling" php-cgi, and how such php scripts work.
I use SUEXEC on a couple of very different systems. My scripts (as is required) run from a directory below my DocumentRoot. In turn, they use the shebang method to invoke the programming language:
#!/usr/bin/rexx --
As far as I'm aware, this executable can be anywhere; the restriction is on where the SCRIPT is housed, not where it's processing executable lives.
Once my script starts executing under suexec, it can run more or less any executable/binary that my own userid has access to; at least, I've never run into any problems.

php-cgi must be called.
