libdir is architecture specific, but not libexecdir, so the ebuild is
correct as it stands. The only thing dhcpcd installs in libexecdir is
scripts.

The bug is about ${EPREFIX}/lib and not ${EPREFIX}/usr/libexec. So I believe the bug is valid

First of all, /lib/<package> or /usr/lib/<package> is a valid libexec directory. 
Then, does it make in any scenario sense to have files from /lib/dhcpcd both 32bit and 64bit?
I'd say no, so it's just like udev where it doesn't make sense to have both 32bit and 64bit helpers like `v4l_id` or such.
Then there's nothing to do here...
