I'm sure Duncan is right.  Sorry for the confusion.  I just did a 
ls -ld /usr/lib* and guessed as to the meaning.  I knew it was changing
though, I just guessed the wrong way.  On this 2005.1 profile I get:

drwxr-xr-x  148 root root 90112 Sep 27 05:42 /usr/lib
drwxr-xr-x    9 root root  4096 Sep 27 05:23 /usr/lib32
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root root     3 Mar 25  2005 /usr/lib64 -> lib
drwxr-xr-x    9 root root  4096 Sep 15 16:23 /usr/libexec
drwxr-xr-x    3 root root  4096 Apr 11 20:10 /usr/libprelude
