I haven't really looked at using /run for anything in openrc on linux,
but that might be possible once we have it installed in baselayout.

I don't think it would fix this issue though.

We are installing into /lib/rc, but /lib is a symlink on 64 bit systems,
so we are having an issue resolving the path.

The same thing should be applied to /usr/libexec then shouldn't it?
