/usr/local/lib/compat and /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg

[Joe Auty]

The other night I spent some frustrating time discovering that after
updating from 7.2 to 8.1, for some reason some of the libraries in
/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg were 32 bit on my 64 bit system which was
causing several of my binaries to generate "unsupported filesystem
layout" errors. I ended up copying the ones from /usr/local/lib/compat
into /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg which seemed to fix the problem.

Will this solution end up hurting me? Was there an official pathname
change to phase out the pkg directory at some point that might warrant
updating all of my packages (which I forgot to do)?
