/lib64 ?! We're arguing for a month if adding a new top-level
directory called /run is a good idea and they just add a very
very ugly /lib64 ?
What's wrong with /lib/ for 64 bits libs and /lib/32/ for the 32 bit
legacy stuff (note the slash).
Ofcourse, they'll get the rpath thing wrong and commercial applications
are going to insist on /lib64, shiver.
