The procps-3.2.0 code should build a 64-bit libproc
if your gcc supports -m64 and you have a 64-bit
ncurses library installed. The procps library then
goes in /lib64 if you have it, or /lib otherwise.
All of the above is BEYOND DISGUSTING of course;
the Alpha port got this right many years ago.
The a.out-to-ELF transition was done right too.
Come on people: /usr/sparc32-linux/lib/*
