Is there any way to have configure test for a 64-bit system and then put libraries in a default place, say /usr/local/lib64, instead of the default /usr/local/lib as so many GNU packages do at the moment? I know I can use ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 but would like the package to take care of that.
I use prefix-specific config.site files to accomplish this. By using different installation prefixes, then the appropriate settings are automatically picked up via the --prefix=/foo configure option. The config.site file used is discovered like ${prefix}/share/config.site. This works like a charm and usually works perfectly with packages using a modern configure script.
