I'm not sure, but: .....
I am sure of this: It needs to be minimized. If there are insurmountable
problems in figuring out that the lib directory is /usr/lib64,
then the builder has to supply it. I really doubt it is that hard to
figure out though.
If a distro insists on shipping 64-bit libraries under /usr/lib64, then
it would be in the distro's best interest to also ship a config.site
variable that defaults --libdir to the appropriate /usr/lib64 location.
This isn't of much help on multi-arched architectures (such as
Fedora/RHEL x86_64 systems), because any such default would only match
to one of its supported architectures and be wrong on all others.
