Buildroot does not have any problems with searching for libraries in
lib32. It does have a problem with having a host rpath used for linking
with libraries.

So, turning of the search for lib32 is really just a workaround to get
rid of the host rpath.

From my understanding, there are some possibilities to fix this issue:
1) Prefer to search in lib if FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS is enabled,
and only search in lib32 in case the target is not found in lib.
2) Make sure, in case lib32 is a symlink, to follow the symlink.
3) Make sure, in case lib32 is a symlink to lib and is not included in
the linker search paths, to add it to the implicit runtime search
paths.

Any thoughts?
