yeah, it's a strange bird: /usr/lib/coreutils/libstdbuf.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped Looks like a library. The weird thing is that the instructions in chapter 6 (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/coreutils.html) say this in section 6.23.2. Contents of Coreutils: Installed library: libstdbuf.so Installed directory: /usr/lib/coreutils So whoever wrote this seemed to think it belonged in /usr/lib. I'll stick with /usr/lib/coreutils too.
