which makes me think maybe doing the simple thing:

<crap>
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec64='/lib64 /usr/lib64'
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec32='/lib32 /usr/lib32'
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_specfoo='/lib /usr/lib'

if 32bitbuild
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="$sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec32
$sys_lib_dlsearch_path_specfoo $sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec64
$lt_ld_extra"
else
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="$sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec64
$sys_lib_dlsearch_path_specfoo $sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec32
$lt_ld_extra"
fi
</crap>

all inside an AC_CACHE_VAL() (that sets and tests an lt_cv_var) so it
can be overridden and so forth, is the best plan.

Sigh, indeed.

If you think that a 1.5.26 release is urgent, I won't insist that you
wait on this.

Thanks,
Peter
