Content 
the patch in msg202343 is wrong, hardcoding lib64 on Debian/Ubuntu. At least the configure check should check for lib64 as a directory and not a symlink, and only then default to lib64.

two other issues with the patch:

 - I would like to see any new OS-dependent locations in the sysconfig module, not the sys module.

 - Please don't depend on uname for the autoconf check, but on the gnu host triplet.

 - Please don't add another `arch' attribute to sys. We already have enough of these in sysconfig.
