Thus, the actual libraries could be pretty much anywhere (as it should be, really). Debian-amd64 uses a symlink from /lib64 to /lib and provides the 64bit libraries and linker in /lib (but when actually compiling does link binaries through /lib64 for FHS compliance). Hopefully /lib64, et al, will die and multiarch will happen soon.
