Yes but now all the i386 files are also in /usr/lib which would work for compatibility, but then you can't be amd64 compatible (although some would say /lib64 is the way to be amd64 compatible). If we could ignore rpath problems, then moving everything to an arch dir under each lib dir would take care of the libs since the ld loader can handle the new locations. Building software may or may not work since configure scripts might get confused, but then again they often do.
