freebsd-update and lib32

Hi,

for years I've been leaving default 'lib32' option during initial
install of FreeBSD selected, but now I am experimenting with a server
which will be 64-bit only.

I have noticed that, after initial install of FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE
without lib32 selected, /usr/lib32 folder is created nevertheless,
containing 3 empty dirs: dtrace, i18n and private. However, running
freebsd-update on such system pulls a bunch of files into /usr/lib32
and its subdirs while updating to FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p5.

Are those files really necessary on 64-bit only system?

Thank you in advance.
