I would like to have a layout similar to what Debian is doing, so that
shared libraries would go in /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/ and /usr/lib64
would be a legacy symlink pointing to it.

That kind of layout would make it much easier to do cross compilation
because you could just take the whole /usr/lib/another-host-triplet/
directory from another architecture without it interfering with the host
libraries and use it for cross compilation purposes.

It would be a lot of work transitioning to a new layout though.
