It does do its best already. If the filename of the library is not its
realpath, it tries with the realpath too.

However in your case, it doesn't find the library in /usr/lib32 but in
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib first.

Really packages should not install files below an official symlink, they
should use canonical paths by default.
