This matter has been decided years ago by other people. /lib64 is
in the ELF psABI, see
http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/elf/x86_64-SysV-psABI.pdf,
and upstream packages (e.g. KDE) are using it already.
There are no other options to putting the library files in /lib64.
The question that needs to be discussed here is how to get them
there in all the broken packages.
