Why are modules in /usr/share?

Looking at the compilation results of the Fedora build for audacity, I
noticed that there is a library file being compiled into
/usr/share/audacity//modules/mod-script-pipe.so - which is not good.
/usr/share is meant to be architecture-independent files, and any
architecture-specific code should be put into the /usr/lib* directories
instead of the /usr/share directories - so a better place for it would
be /usr/lib64/audacity/modules/mod-script-pipe.so (on 64-bit installs).

Thanks,
