IIRC this is not specific to x86_64 (other arches can also use it).
This is specific to glibc implementation (implemented 4 years ago
IIRC). The paths glibc dynamic loader looks for shared libraries does
not change, but it will check specific subdirectories based on your
hardware capabilities.

I believe openSUSE already ships optional architecture optimized
packages, which use exactly this glibc feature.
