I don't know if this is really a bug or not.  Several tools in the
cross compiler and the temporary tools install things into libexec. 
So far it hasn't caused me any trouble as I think they are things that
never get used, then the directories get deleted.  But it got me
curious, I don't see a libexec in the FHS, what is libexec and why
does it exist?

The packages are:

chapter 5: cross tools

gcc-static (5.8) puts some stuff in libexec in the cross-tools directory
glibc (5.9) puts some stuff in libexec in the tools directory

chapter 6: temporary tools

gcc (6.4) puts some stuff in libexec in the tools directory

gawk (6.6) puts awk in the /tools/libexec (also puts it in /tools/bin
where it belongs)

findutils (6.11) puts a few in /tools/libexec

tar also (6.18)
