It's possible that earlier bugs caused this to go unnoticed. I don't have
this problem on my machine, but it was installed with build 116. It's also
possible that something else came along and removed some of the files. I'm
not sure what those files actually ended up being, though.

That's as it's supposed to be. I think the point is that you can always
point to $(isainfo -b) -- whether in an ELF runpath or in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or whatever, and have it just work, for some value of work. You'll note
that the link "64" points either to "amd64" or to "sparcv9" depending on
the platform architecture.

$ find /usr/lib -name 32
works just fine for me.
