FWIW, libexec can be argued not to be a violation of the current FHS, 
because the FHS allows suffixed lib* for multilib purposes, and libexec can 
be argued to be the multilibbed libdir with the suffix "exec", designed for 
the architecture "native ELF executables, as opposed to shared libraries".

Of course that's not the intent of the specification as written, but there's 
nothing in the letter of the FHS which would forbid this interpretation. :-)
