Thanks for pointing this out.
This reminds me and I don't think this have been discussed yet, but I guess that we should soon address where e.g. WebAssembly binaries should go. I think we should really consider to establish some generic infrastructure for such cases.

Note that mingw-* packages currently in Fedora install into the /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/ or /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/ directories.
This is a different topic but if each archful package installed its files into a directory containing the arch name, it would allow parallel installability without configuring dnf and possibly make it more convenient for cross-platform development.

The dynamic linker already has the `glibc-hwcaps` mechanism to load optimized implementations of ''shared objects'' [3]. This means that packages can provide optimized libraries and they linker will be automatically load them from separate directories if appropriate. (For AMD64, this is `/usr/lib64/glibc-hwcaps/x86-64-v{2,3,4}/`.)
Is this something specific to x86_64 that the libs needs to be nested in a place such as `/usr/lib64/glibc-hwcaps/x86-64-v{2,3,4}/`? Why not use e.g. `/usr/x86-64-v{2,3,4}/lib` directories instead? Or something more universal.
Adding directories to the /usr sub-space generally gets bogged down into 'You are polluting my name-space' arguments which get no-where because some of the people getting angry is having to live with some 3rd party rules and regulations which stipulated how things look and will only get updated once a decade or so. [The same goes with subdirectories in /usr/bin etc where it causes similar problems.] There tends to be no 'general' case which works unless it gets 'agreed' upon by some outside of the distro body that publishes 'versioned' standards.
Checking what Debian does, they have paths such as `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/`. So we would not be alone.
