$ readelf -d /sbin/mount_qemufwcfg | grep NEEDED
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [librefuse.so.2]

 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.12]

But librefuse and libpuffs live in /usr/lib, so this doesn't work if /sbin is available but /usr is not, which is usually why we put things in /sbin.

futz around
>Fix:
Yes, please!

Either mount_qemufwcfg should live in /usr/sbin or we need to move libpuffs and librefuse into /lib, which is not great.

(See also PR bin/58638: mount_qemufwcfg(8): usage is confusing (https://gnats.NetBSD.org/58638), which notes that mount_qemufwcfg(8) is incompatible with mount(8).  Making it compatible requires keeping mount_qemufwcfg in /sbin.)
