I originally reported this @ Opensuse bugzilla

	https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786460

but was told to report it upstream.  IMO, the issue is directly related
to Opensuse's use of LIBDIR=lib64 on X86_64 systems, and should be
patched THERE, but ... here's the issue:

For installed libtool, checking

	grep ^sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec /usr/bin/libtool
	    sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib64
	    /usr/local/lib "

the as-installed default fails to include the libdirs as used on X86_64
systems on Opensuse (and perhaps others that do the same ...).

On x86_64 that shouldn't be "/lib /usr/lib", but rather "/lib64
/usr/lib64".

arguably, /usr/lib/lib64 should lead the order ...
