When the ABI is 64-bit on Linux ELF, add /lib64 and /usr/lib64 to the
system library path so that an RPATH is not added when using libraries

Are these libraries consistently available for 64-bit Linux? If not, should they be explicitly tested for before depending on them?

I got the impression that Linux systems which are completely 64-bit (i.e. don't support executing 32-bit binaries) don't use /lib64 and /usr/lib64.

Well, actually, the search paths to system libs is hard coded into gcc.
It may vary between architectures, vendors and OSes.
