That's multiarch... I was afraid of that when commiting the change - it's no 
longer as easy to check for 32/64 bit libc as to just look at /lib32 or 
/lib64... And looks like more and more distros are moving towards multiarch, 
unfortunately it's not yet well standardized and there are some differences in 
the implementation. Wookey had a nice presentation at the last ELC about 
multiarch in Debian...
