Delete the symlink and fix other orphaned links? :-)

Seriously, it's probably more trouble than it is worth. It'd be mostly just 
adding --libdir=/usr/lib, and couple of small seds to the toolchain packages if 
you want to completely rid the option from the build machinery, but there will 
always be packages that think lib64 is the correct location unless you tell 
them otherwise. Even Debian doesn't go through the trouble.
