In RISCV lands things look like this:
[..]
#define STARTFILE_PREFIX_SPEC \
"/lib" XLEN_SPEC "/" ABI_SPEC "/ " \
"/usr/lib" XLEN_SPEC "/" ABI_SPEC "/ " \
[..]
Linker default search paths:
[..]
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/riscv64-redhat-linux/lib64/lp64d")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/riscv64-redhat-linux/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/riscv64-redhat-linux/lib6464/lp64d")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/lib6464/lp64d")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/local/lib64/lp64d")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/local/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("=/lib64/lp64d")
SEARCH_DIR("=/lib64")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/lib64/lp64d")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/riscv64-redhat-linux/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/local/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("=/lib")
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/lib")
[..]
By default the expectation is to find libraries under ABI
subdirectory, e.g. /usr/lib64/lp64d
In Fedora/RISCV /usr/lib64/lp64d is a symlink back to /usr/lib64
From glibc:
[..]
This program interpreter self-identifies as: /lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1
Shared library search path:
(libraries located via /etc/ld.so.cache)
/lib64/lp64d (system search path)
/usr/lib64/lp64d (system search path)
