On most multi-lib x86_64 systems these do end up in /usr/lib64 but the system 
will have a sym link from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 and on multi-lib systems 
there will be a /usr/lib32 directory for the 32 bit stuff.  That way the 64 bit 
stuff on both multi-lib and non-multi lib machines will look the same to the 
build system (IE. this logically ends up in /usr/lib).
