I would note I have seen cases where helper binaries actually needed to be
arch-specific and in $prefix/$libdir. I think it was bonobo?

In any case, I agree - my proposal was that packages that use
non-multilibbed helper binaries should be free to put them in *one of*
$prefix/lib or $prefix/libexec, as long as they remain consistent.
