I patched the gcc-3.4 package in the amd64/gcc-3.4 archive to get that
result. For the patch I used please look at BTS #277852. I recompiled
the complete amd64/gcc-3.4 archive with that patch and without the
'/lib64' and '/usr/lib64' symlinks in place. I still have to reupload
most of the recompiled packages to alioth but you should be able to
debootstrap a new chroot from the amd64/gcc-3.4 archive and do a
'rm /lib64' without making the system unusable.

Yes, of course.

I fully agree with that. However, we do not have such a symlink yet.
The pure64 archive has a patched 'base-files' package which creates
such a symlink, but the maintainer of 'base-files' rejected that patch
because he said it should be done by the 'glibc' package and I think his
decision is correct. Logically it would belong in the 'libc6' package.
It tried to put the symlink there, but this caused the system to stop
working during updates of the 'libc6' package. We could easily have that
symlink if we decided to make our binaries independent of the '/lib64'
directory.
Still, this particular patch is harmless in all these respects. The
patch which really changes something is the patch to gcc which changes
the name which is coded into every binary.
