Details:

I am trying to build mxe-octave on openSUSE 15.0 and I come across a number of
issues due to the fact that the built libraries are stored in usr/lib64 while
they seem to be expected in usr/lib. Adding a symbolic link between them
before the beginning of the built of any library allows me to proceed further
(`mkdir usr; cd usr; ln -s lib64 lib`).

Other errors occurs later on due a similar issue with
usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib vs usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib64 but it's harder to
deal with as both directories are used and symbolic links become replaced by
hard links when a built package installs its libraries.

This would mean that different packages use a different strategy to define
where libraries are stored (/usr/lib vs /usr/lib64) for which openSUSE returns
different answers. I could find a related discussion here:
