I saw that.  It's ok.  We may want to remove later though.

What is the matter with libraries in libexecdir?

I also have

/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.2/liblto_plugin.so.0.0.0
/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.2/liblto_plugin.so
/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.2/liblto_plugin.so.0
/usr/libexec/coreutils/libstdbuf.so

Yes, I know the FHS says "Binaries run by other programs", but I suspect 
libraries are OK because the developers specifically do not want the 
linker to look for these libraries unless they explicitly specify it.
