I don't think this works as a test.
Remember that in many 64 bit systems (certainly true for x86_64) you can
run and compile both 32 and 64 bit binaries, so the presence of the 64
bit libs doesn't show what you want to build one way or the other.
Also it's very important to note that the lib/lib64 distinction is not
at all general and pretty much distribution specific. For example this
isn't how it's done on FreeBSD (lib/lib32).
So I don't think that the upstream source should try to vary from the
gnu defaults and distribution packaging should deal with it themselves
(which is indeed what the Fedora packages do).
This also isn't at all specific to qpid.
