Release/Distribution. Would it make sense to apply the workaround on all
Linux systems or could that break things?
The solution that's in Python 2.7 and in Debian's patches to Python 2.6
(patch deb-setup.diff attached) is to use {{{dpkg-architecture
-qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}}}. These packages use this command to set the
library paths correctly.
This requires that the optional package dpkg-dev is installed. A wrapper
should probably be written that complains if {{{lsb_release -i}}} is
(Debian|Ubuntu|Mint) and {{{dpkg-architecture}}} is not present, otherwise
the build will fail without the user knowing why...
