Depends on point of view. You call it a bug, we call it a feature. It
was deliberately added to our port of pkgconfig three years ago. It cost
us a lot of effort to keep up with it since. It help pkgconfig to
conform to FreeBSD hierarchy rules, which say "only shared binary files
under lib/, indirectly executed binaries under libexec/, non-executable
stuff under libdata/". I'm not sure we want to drop this feature, taking
the effort we put into it in past.
