Nevertheless, wouldn't it be worth of phasing out the /lib64? I don't
know what is the history behind, but I don't think this layout is
conceptual.

I would like to have a layout similar to what Debian is doing, so that shared libraries would go in /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/ and /usr/lib64 would be a legacy symlink pointing to it.

That kind of layout would make it much easier to do cross compilation because you could just take the whole /usr/lib/another-host-triplet/ directory from another architecture without it interfering with the host libraries and use it for cross compilation purposes.

It would be a lot of work transitioning to a new layout though.
