Amd64 has lib64 -> lib, /usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib64 ->
/usr/X11R6/lib. The test for the /lib64 dir would be true on amd64
even though it is _not_ biarch.
mrvn@dual:~% [ -d /lib64 ] && echo yes
yes
mrvn@dual:~% ls -lhd /lib64
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3 Jun 28 16:46 /lib64 -> lib/
It's a bit strange that a test for dir is true on a link but aparently
it follows the link.
I think I checked the wrong version of procps though. 1:3.2.2-1 still
needs to be build.
