from the FHS:

/usr
|
[...]
+-share     Architecture-independent data

This means, that /usr/share can be shared among architectures
(Debian GNU/Linux), where /usr/bin/... is shared among machines 
with the same architecture (i.e. Debian GNU/Linux on i386 NFS
mount /usr/i386/bin, Debian GNU/Linux on Sparc mount
/usr/sparc/bin, where as all mount /usr/share on /usr/share).
