It does not work with multiple architectures where "multiple" does not
mean "two, which differ in word size".
If all library packages have to be changed anyway (to allow them to
install into /lib64), we can as well change them to make the more
general case of installing any two different architectures work, too.
The small change to ldconfig is hardly more work.

Please note that my proposal also affects /lib, not only /lib64.
