If you are unsure which way is better, my recommendation would be follow the Linux Standard Base (LSB). IIRC it recommends using lib64 in this case.

Hello,
iirc this was at some point discussed, however, I want to go through it again.
Many x86_64 distros expect libraries to be placed under a lib64 directory. For example the RPM spec file language returns /usr/lib64 for %{_libdir} variable.
In the master branch I committed a patch that does this detection.
As I saw some people saying that 'lib' should be the default also for x86_64, my question is then what do you think we should use?
Using 'lib' will definitely make building rpms fail unless we do a patch specific for these distros.
Cheers, Daniel
