Subject: rfc: libexec directory inconsistency
Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2011 11:02:42 -0600
All,

I noticed that for dhcpcd and openrc we force their LIBEXECDIR to be
$(get_libdir)/foo, which puts things in different directories depending on
whether the system is multilib or not.

I enquired from Robin why we do this, and I was told that libexec is
supposed to contain things which are not abi specific, but we do not
enforce that for /, even though we do for /usr.

Is there a reason for this? If not, would it break things if we start
using /libexec as well as /usr/libexec?

William
