OBS request 738494 from Neal will change %_libexecdir from /usr/lib to /usr/libexec. This was proposed in July on the opensuse-packaging list

This would break some packages like purpose, which call binaries inside libexec from a libary which is 32/64-bit co-installable using baselibs.conf.

What's the right way to handle that?

A 32-bit library can invoke(*) a 64-bit program with no problem. Then you just need to make sure that these two entities live in packages such that the combinations are always installable. The current state in o:F/purpose suggests that said library package will need to "Require: purpose" to get at the "purposeprocess" executable.
