Lennart Poettering (mzerqung(a)0pointer.de) said:
it is simply wrong to place internal binaries in %{_libdir}.
internal
binaries should not be subject to multlib'ed dirs, the same way as
binaries in bin/ are not...
I would note I have seen cases where helper binaries actually needed to be
arch-specific and in $prefix/$libdir. I think it was bonobo?
In any case, I agree - my proposal was that packages that use
non-multilibbed helper binaries should be free to put them in *one of*
$prefix/lib or $prefix/libexec, as long as they remain consistent.
