[issue21197] venv does not create lib64 directory and appropriate symlinks

Vinay Sajip added the comment: Issue #18807 relates to symlinks not being available, or not being wanted by the user creating the environment. The lib64 symlink is (currently) the only case where we symlink to a directory (in the other cases, such as aliases for the interpreter, we can use cop
