The directories named with the GCC conventions (for example, "64") are
used under libsubdir for libraries and .o files, under
libsubdir/include-fixed for fixed headers and under
($target/)include/c++/$version/$target for some C++ headers. The
directories named with the OS conventions (for example, "../lib64") are
used under ($target/)lib for libraries and under lib/ and usr/lib/ in any
sysroot. The OS conventions are always relative to a "lib" directory and
those directory names may start with "../" but names in the GCC
conventions should never start with "../".
