Subject: bug#16037: Add 64 bit directories to sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec for Linux ELF
Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 14:07:38 +0100

Four years ago Dan Nicholson po0sted the patch below to the libtool list
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-01/msg00043.html). The
patch wasn't rejected and is still missing from libtool. Why wasn't this or
something like it added to libtool up to now?

Subject: [PATCH] Add 64 bit directories to sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec for
Linux 
ELF

When the ABI is 64-bit on Linux ELF, add /lib64 and /usr/lib64 to the
system library path so that an RPATH is not added when using libraries
from these directories.
