You're right, sorry about that. I hadn't been thinking about multiarch because libmemusage.so was a private non-versioned library, but that *is* still an issue regardless. That said, the actual memusage.sh script appears to hardcode the shared-library directory at compile time, and the patch here doesn't change that.
