...but then sys.platlibdir is going to incorrectly list 'lib', isn't it?  
According to https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/sys.html#sys.platlibdir it's 
used 'to build the path of platform-specific dynamic libraries and the path of 
the standard library'.  This means that people relying on it for the former 
will get 32-bit libraries instead.
