Almost. I'd recommend more quoting, so that you can still change $prefix
at make time:
test "$libdir" = NONE && libdir='${prefix}/lib64'
Also, please report this as a bug to your distro - maybe the more people
that bug them about it, the more they will get the picture that they can
make life easier for their users.
