--- Comment #3 from Jim Wilson <wilson at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I have a Fedora stage4 disk image that I'm running on qemu, and which has
glibc-2.27.  Libraries are in /usr/lib64 exactly as I expect.

You pointed at part 0 of a 19 part patch set.  I'm guessing you are talking
about part 19, which adds support to build-many-glibcs.py.  This is not an
official recommendation on where to place libraries.  This is merely a script
to enable testing of many different glibc builds.  This part of the patch set
did not survive to make it into glibc-2.27.  The --libdir options were removed.

Default library placement is really a matter of distro packaging, not glibc
patches.  Different distros have different rules on where to place libraries. 
As long as a distro is consistent there is no problem.  Hard coding all of
these rules into the linker is not practical.  Normally, they get coded into
the compiler.

It sounds like your compiler was configured wrong for your target OS.
