it doesn't :)

i just built for s390x and did `make install DESTDIR=$PWD/foo` and the libs 
(including ldso) default to /lib64/.  Gentoo's ebuilds make sure things get 
symlinked to the right place (there's a list that maintains all the ldso paths 
for multilib targets).

the multiarch people are going to whine incessantly anytime a new ldso is 
proposed that doesn't live in /lib/.
