Your proposed answer "don't do that" would imply that every library
is distributed in different variants, one for each standards compliance.
Not only /usr/lib and /usr/lib/64, but
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/xpg4
/usr/lib/xpg6
/usr/lib/64
/usr/lib/64/xpg4
/usr/lib/64/xpg6
This is not realistic: People are not distributing libraries in this
way, and are not even aware for which standard a library was built
and tested for. ("file libfoo.so" does not tell. You need
"nm libfoo.so | grep values".)
