Hi Martin,

that package is fine.  The file /usr/share/site/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is
sourced early in every configure script and probably contains a line
   test "$libdir" = '${exec_prefix}/lib' && libdir='${exec_prefix}/lib64
such that the default value for $libdir is changed (/lib => /lib64).

The TL build system is now (r25708) modified to avoid a lib/lib64 confusion
in the presence of such a 'Site configuration' file.  Can you test this?
this.

Regards
Peter
