Moving things as openrc to /usr/libexec will effectevely barake old
systems with separtae / and /usr. So it isnt good idea

that specific report sounds like using /run would fix things ?
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.
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.
We are installing into /lib/rc, but /lib is a symlink on 64 bit
systems,
so we are having an issue resolving the path.

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.
The same thing should be applied to /usr/libexec then shouldn't it?
(just asking for more info here)
