I was expecting that we'd need to put anything that you might want to have
simultaneous installs from multiple architectures in that directory, which
would include, for instance, any shared library plugins or loadable
modules, which aren't strictly libraries.
We might have to duplicate some library helper programs as well, if for
instance they communicate with the library using binary structures that
are sensitive to sizeof(long).
