If it's noarch, %{_libdir} doesn't work sanely, and it doesn't reliably end up
the same place as all the other (arch-specific and noarch) Nagios plugins.  The
same package (using /usr/lib or /usr/lib64) will be used on 32- and 64-bit
hosts, and it's going to be the wrong place on one of them.  (Unless I'm
completely missing something, anyway.)  Pretending the package is arch-specific
is a hack, but it's a hack to play nice with the rest of nagios-plugins.  (Which
I did elaborate on in my first comment...)

The difference between the two is that the one you cited didn't exist when I
filed this review request.  Of course, I'm not seeing any actual code for that
one, either, so I'm not sure I can agree that it's "better" than this one (as
touted by its author).  The page has a dead link, and the month-old page hasn't
had an update in nearly three.  So I guess I can add "this one has published
code" to my answer. :-)

I'll readily acknowledge that this plugin is probably sub-par quality. 
Unfortunately, it fulfills a niche for which there aren't really, as far as I've
seen, alternatives.
