true, it would have been /lib64/ since the hardware doesn't the 64bit
extensions for x86. but i think the point still stands that using /lib/ for
the new hardfloat ABI is OK rather than needing to go the /libhf/ multilib
route.
and, if it turns out that we were being too optimistic and we do actually want
soft/hard float multilib, i don't think this will be a blocker. as mentioned,
the s390x guys have been bad and it hasn't been a blocker for s390/s390x
multilib with them :).
