Those packages are not essential to your system. binutils-uclibc and

Yes,
I loaded them because there are a couple of apps that I want to try and cross
compile. I guess they are fine where they are, but shouldn't the install
packages have put them somewhere else?
I don't think so. It's common practice to put cross compilation tools
in non-standard places, so you don't accidentally end up compiling
something on your x86 system for an arm processor.
A while back, there was some discussion about cross-compliers and trying
to be more FHS compliant. The suggestion was to put them in
/usr/lib/cross-<target>. See:

I posted a set of PKGBUILDs for the mingw32 cross compiler.
