Yeah, there are a few packages I've run into that do "if config.guess says something that looks like x86_64, use lib64". Which is exactly the right thing to do for an x86_64 system, actually, but the standard autoconf macros don't set libdir that way. #include <abi_spec_comment.h> :-) Of course, taken to an extreme, that would end up creating stuff like /opt/<package>/lib64 symlinks. Which I don't think is feasible. But /usr/local/lib64 is probably fine. Or any other lib directory we create (I don't think there are any others, but just in case).
