You could look at the stuff in libtool for IRIX, specifically 6.x.  IRIX
does this in a very similar fashion (/usr/lib, /usr/lib32, /usr/lib64,
etc) for the three ABIs on recent IRIX.

I'm looking at ltconfig for libtool 1.3.5, even that far back there was
good support for doing what you're trying to do.

Search for

        libsuff

in ltconfig from 1.3.5, to find the section I'm talking about.
