mklibs expects _pic.map files to be stored in /usr/lib alongside the
library. These files appear to be architecture independent, and are
plain text (indeed, they are build scripts for the GNU linker).
/lib is allowed to contain:
o object files,
o libraries,
o internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts.
o subdirectories with architecture-dependent data exclusively used an application
The correct place for these files is /usr/share or /usr/src:
[/usr/share]
"The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture
independent data files."
[/usr/src]
"Any non-local source code should be placed in this
subdirectory."
I'd suggest /usr/share as best; while they are source code, they're
pretty small snippets of it. I suggest putting them all in a common
directory like "/usr/share/mklibs", "/usr/share/ldmaps",
"/usr/share/picmap", etc.
mklibs would, of course, need to be modified to look in the new
location.

OK; I'll accept that it's just a coincidence that some packages have
this file the same on all architectures, and close this bug.
