Not as bad as it seems. On IRIX which has even three different sets of
libs (old 32bit, new 32bit and 64bit) usually only a few of every set
are actually installed, because 64bit libraries are usually only used by
those applications that really need them (e.g. there's normally no need
to link all or even anything of KDE or gnome in 64bit).
