Isn't the norach equivalent of _libdir _datadir? Or phrased in another
way: Shouldn't a noach package avoid both lib and lib64? I think we
even have rules already set for this.

I don't quite agree that rpm should start changing _libdir to point
to _datadir, but the packagers should probably patch up the packages
to use _datadir instead of _libdir if the package is indeed noarch.
