This is a controversal point.

Some people want to see $libexecdir multiarch'ed, but most (all?)
packages I am aware about to be actively using $libexecdir use it with
an architecture corresponding to $bindir.

On a single-arch'ed x86_64 $libexecdir would be 64bit, on a
single-arch'ed i386 it would be 32bit, on a multiarched, the contents of
$libexecdir would have to correspond to the architecture of the binaries
in $bindir.
