God, no!
It means every package would have to use this option at configure
time, otherwise it wouldn't work.
I think the best we can do is to run something like:
case `$CC $CFLAGS -print-file-name=libc.so || gcc -print-file-name=libc.a` in
# common case, good
*/lib/libc.so | */lib/libc.a) libsuff= ;;
# many 64/32 arches use lib for 32-bit libs and lib64 for 64-bit libs
*/lib64/libc.so | */lib64/libc.a) libsuff=64 ;;
# mips64-linux uses lib32 for N32
*/lib32/libc.so | */lib32/libc.a) libsuff=32 ;;
# Shouldn't happen... What now?
*) libsuff= ;;
esac
This should probably be amended to match Debian GNU/Linux x86_64
practice.
