Cover letter [PATCH 0/4][RFC] Change libexecdir to ${prefix}/libexec

Hi,

First, this is VERY MUCH A RFC!

There's numerous problems with setting ${libexecdir} to ${libdir}/${BPN}, but the a easy argument in my opinion is that nobody else does this.

The Debian world sets libexecdir to ${exec_prefix}/lib, and the Red Hat world uses ${exec_prefix}/libexec. The FHS says either are fine. Nobody puts the package name into the definition of libexecdir, as automake provides pkglibexecdir ($libexec/$package) for package-specific binaries.

This branch changes bitbake.conf to use ${exec_prefix}/libexec and a few patches to fix (or hack around) any problems this has revealed so far.

Comments and testing (especially with other layers, and multilib configurations) much appreciated.

Ross
