The upstream patches have used the existing (poor man's multiarch) paths: /lib64 /usr/lib64 in order to make them fit in with existing upstream convention.
I originally wanted to use /lib, but we're going to switch to /lib64 for consistency with other 64-bit architectures, and so on. I am concerned that we agree on the linker, but not on other library paths. Will Debian and Ubuntu consider a package that includes /lib64 "compatibility" symlinks so that non-multiarch systems can share code with multi-arch ones? We don't need to break this :)
