with encoded rpaths, i'm not sure you'll get cross-distro convergence on that anytime soon. as an example, kde/qt get parallel installed in different ways: some use /opt, some use /usr/<kde|qt><ver>, some use /usr/<os-multilib>/<kde| qt><ver>. maybe there are even others i haven't seen.
similarly, you have internal helper paths encoded and here we have /libexec/, /usr/libexec/, /usr/lib/<package-name|misc>/, /usr/<os-muliblib>/<package- name|misc>/, and maybe other craziness.
aarch64's behavior (use lib64) is nothing new to the multilib scene (x86_64, mips n64, s390x, ppc64), and distros have handled it thus far. i don't think we need to hold aarch64 hostage here to much larger/ugly issues that are not as common.
Oh, agreed 100% :-)
