2 reasons:

 * it would be nice if people using Fedora create binaries using the
   right path for the future

 * the compat symlink on its own isn't enough, changing the filename
   means the soname has changed too. There's a (quick and very dirty)
   glibc patch to make things work regardless - see [1]

We got consensus about the linker path last month, let's *please*
follow through on it everywhere.
