This is unstandard, all the Linux/*64's should use '*/lib64' for the 64-bit libs and '*/lib' for the 32-bit libs, this is the de-facto standard! Whether it is also an official standard is unknown... Also the GCC sources use this existing de-facto standard.

The only 64-bit Linux I have met using what you describe, is the Ubuntu. Why it tries that old "proprietary" idea: "get me and then be married with me", is somehow
uncomprehensible in this "open standard systems" age...

So your only choice without doing manual fixes to the FSF sources, is to "marry with" Ubuntu, use only its patched sources, and never try any pristine FSF ones!
