Hi,

what's the current way of dealing with the folders /lib and /usr/lib
which are symlinks to /lib64 or /usr/lib64 on amd64 systems?

Here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185126#c3
one of the gentoo devs (Jakub) thought, that paths like /usr/lib
shouldn't be hardcoded. Hmm - to me, this statement only makes sense, if
ebuilds installing files to /lib or /usr/lib are actually disliked.

But actually, very fundamental stuff like udev, grub-static, etc.
still install there files to /lib or /usr/lib instead of /lib64 or
/usr/lib64.

So should these packages be fixed?
Or is it intentional or at least legal, that they install files to /lib
or /usr/lib on amd64?


Thanks,
  Sven
