i don't think that's true. on an x86_64 system, the 64bit libs are in
/lib64/. some distros tried to (pointlessly imo) resist and force 64bits into
/lib/ when the native ABI was x86_64 (Gentoo included), but those are legacy
imo, and afaik, they didn't break the ldso paths.
so in a setup that only has hardfloat binaries, you'd have all the libs in
/libhf/, not just the ldso.

the implication in supporting both hardfloat and softfloat simultaneously is
that you'd could have them both installed. thus putting them both in /lib/
doesn't make much sense if you're still going to need /libhf/ to hold
everything else.
