I don't think that GCC is always the best example to follow.
Nevertheless, wouldn't it be worth of phasing out the /lib64? I don't
know what is the history behind, but I don't think this layout is
conceptual.
I would like to have a layout similar to what Debian is doing, so that
shared libraries would go in /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/ and
/usr/lib64 would be a legacy symlink pointing to it.
Likewise.
That kind of layout would make it much easier to do cross compilation
because you could just take the whole /usr/lib/another-host-triplet/
directory from another architecture without it interfering with the host
libraries and use it for cross compilation purposes.
Yes, that /lib/<target> arrangement allows for all manner of things that
just aren't possible with /lib64.
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/TheCaseForMultiarch is a good read.
It would be a lot of work transitioning to a new layout though.
That it is.
