diskless with /usr on nfs: mount.nfs depends on /usr/lib/libtirpc.so !?!

This seems to be more likely an error in the library packages:
libtirpc-0.2.0-4.fc12.i686
libgssglue-0.1-8.fc12.i686

Their libraries should be installed in /lib NOT in /usr/lib !!

Other people encountered this before, for example:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/eldk/2008-January/000061.html
http://lists.mandriva.com/bugs/2009-11/msg05425.php

So I wonder why it has not been fixed in F12.
