They put libs in directories like /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec ). If we'd switch to a similar solution a new (de facto) standard might evolve and in the end nobody would have to deal with hacks any more, because all major distros would put libs in the same directories. Iirc their model has benefits for cross-compilation, too. Cu, knurd
