Which argues for keeping /usr/lib as a 32 bit library directory,
but not for making it the default directory.
Perhaps all the "stake holders" need to be put into a virtual meeting
room and not allowed out until some way forward is chosen. ;)
I do think that autoconf was conceived as the place where
inconsistencies between platforms get resolved. This is an
inconsistency that could really use a resolution that does not
require people to have to remember platform dependent tool use rules.
