Well we already have installed the n64 libraries in /lib and /usr/lib
(in practice in the corresponding multiarch subdir), so we are not
respecting the standard already. I therefore don't see the standard
as an argument for o32 libraries.

That's what I have committed so far. We can add the multilib support
later when we agree about it, but I think with multiarch it should not
be needed.
