It is of course true that some other distributions put 32 bit libraries

path because for a native 64 bit distribution this will lead to an
almost empty /usr/lib directory while all the native libraries are
in /usr/lib64. In other words this would mean to change the name of
the well established '/usr/lib' hierarchy to '/usr/lib64'.
This would be ugly, at least IMHO.
I'm still rather unsure of the interest of having the ppc64 distribution
be native... Unlike amd64, as I wrote several times, there is no benefit
as in more registers etc... All you'll get is bigger/slower code...
