The problem is not with the standard 'bin', 'lib' or 'libexec' subdirectories,
since the 64-bit location under bin/${amd64,sparcv9} and lib/${amd64/sparcv9}
has already been established as a standard naming convention in Solaris for a
long time.
The problem is with the other directories, namely: include and build, for which
there are no established naming conventions or directory hierarchies.
The current convention within Solaris is *not* to have separate include
directories for 64-bit, and to assume that one set of header files is correct
under both 32- and 64- bit.
My original message did not mention bin, lib or libexec, it specifically
mentioned include and build.
