Comment (by vbraun):
Configure does IMHO already too many things that it has no place to do;
Why create install directories there? Its also testing package
configuration for correctness (as opposed to during testing). Neither of
these are typically done by configure.
Besides being the wrong place, putting stuff into configure makes it also
unnecessarily difficult to work on that in the future as it is an
additional layer of inception (script writing shell script) and requires
an arcane process of creating a new confball.
That said if you insist on doing it the wrong way then I'd rather have the
lib64 symlink than fix that particular configure insanity
