   As far as I know /sbin is for architecture-dependent and system administrative   
   tools and is used that way in most distros.

   Those shared libs using binaries uses libs in /lib, which should be located on   
   / as /sbin. You have always busybox to fall back on, if you would break your   
   system so badly that the shared lib using programs in /sbin wouldn't work.

   Those files aren't as system important as those in /sbin, and therefore can be   
   dynamically linked.
