lib isn't the right place either.  It's not all library content.  It's actually a nested prefix.  libexec was chosen as the base for this separate prefix to be most analogous with /usr/libexec/gcc/...

If we want to come up with a standard location for subprefixes (eg: ${prefix}/opt), I'd be happy to switch to that.
