678	Book's treatment of --libexecdir is bogus	greg@…	gerard@…	"LSB compliance implies FHS compliance.

FHS does not mention libexecdir.

Traditional use of libexecdir has been for helper programs used by other
programs. These programs were never meant to be in the general $PATH.

We currently do exactly that in a couple of places. I propose we change the
affected places to get those binaries out of the $PATH

findutils - --libexecdir=/usr/lib/locate
gawk - --libexecdir=/usr/lib/gawk (be careful with current patch)
glibc - --libexecdir=/usr/lib (cannot think of anywhere better?)
inetutils - (since we now use --disable-servers, libexec has become irrelevant)
tar - --libexecdir=/usr/lib/tar

Not urgent at all. Discuss on lfs-dev after release of 5.0."	defect	closed	normal		Book	CVS	normal	fixed
