Severity: normal
The cmake build system passes -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/MULTIARCH to
cmake, but only when cross-compiling. This seems weird: the Autotools
equivalent would be passing --libdir='${exec_prefix}/lib/MULTIARCH'
but only when cross-compiling.
I would have expected that for each compat level, cmake-built packages
should have the same CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR - either lib or lib/MULTIARCH -
regardless of whether cross-compiling or not.
In future compat levels (12+? 13+?), presumably lib/MULTIARCH ought to
be the default for both native and cross builds?
