However the triplet fedora uses is different to what debian uses so the location will be different. Which is a bigger issue. A generic upstream default is best. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Note that Fedora is a moving target and there already was a mentioning¹ of /lib/<triplet> for libraries earlier this year during a developers conference². I am not sure what the current status of that proposal is, but I think it is entirely possible that Fedora may follow the format Debian is using.
