that specific report sounds like using /run would fix things ?

as for the paths, openrc should be using the paths it installs into.  so if 
we're installing into /lib64/rc..., then that's what we should be using.

same answer as last time people have asked about /libexec: no.  we dont need 
it, and it's ugly cruft that no other distro ive seen uses, and this isnt 
something we need to differentiate Gentoo.
