Hi everyone!
First of all, sorry for bringing up, perhaps, a trivial matter, but since it's
about the sources I guess it's better to ask it here.
I'm investigating a curious problem caused by the fact that in a user's
virtualenv, created with the standard "venv" module, "lib64" directory,
traditionally symlinked to "lib", gets included in sys.path
instead of "lib" itself.
```
$ python -msite
sys.path = [
'/current/working/directory'
'/usr/lib64/python36.zip',
'/usr/lib64/python3.6',
'/usr/lib64/python3.6/lib-dynload',
'/path/to/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages',
]
```
The user is on Gentoo, and, though the venv's layout is exactly the same, it's
different from the typical result on a Debian-based distribution where it's the
original "lib" in sys.path, not its "lib64" link. I'm wondering what's
controlling this behavior. Modules/getpath.c doesn't mention
architecture-dependent lib directories anywhere, at least at first glance.
Could someone please give me a hint about where to look in the sources or,
maybe, which build options are affecting this?
Thanks a lot!
