Patching how? I'm sure I'm out of the loop a little bit, but the last I checked
this wasn't necessary. In any case, for my own scripts I decided a while ago
the best way was to always build a multilib system. It gives complete
flexibility, works with what the toolchain (generally speaking) expects what
you will do and for the most part requires little else for system libraries
other than configuring them with a --libdir= param.
