Is there any way to have configure test for a 64-bit system and then
put libraries in a default place, say /usr/local/lib64, instead of the
default /usr/local/lib as so many GNU packages do at the moment?
I know I can use ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 but would like
the package to take care of that.
I use prefix-specific config.site files to accomplish this. By using
different installation prefixes, then the appropriate settings are
automatically picked up via the --prefix=/foo configure option. The
config.site file used is discovered like ${prefix}/share/config.site.
This works like a charm and usually works perfectly with packages
using a modern configure script.
