Hi,

For a some times, a few packages now provide 32-bit libraries on amd64.
They are installed in /lib32 and /usr/lib32. However, ld does not search
libraries in these directories, whereas it searches in /lib64 and
/usr/lib64 for 64-bit libraries on a bi-arch system (i386, sparc,
powerpc, s390).

Note having libraries in /lib32 and /usr/lib32 on amd64 is Debian 
specific (however Gentoo does the same).

Please find attached a patch (122_x86_64_i386_biarch.dpatch) to fix
that. I have also attached a patch for the unofficial ppc64 architecture
(123_ppc64_powerpc_biarch.dpatch), but I have not tested it.

Thanks,
Aurelien
