It seems I have this confused with /lib64 and /lib32 from FHS:
  > /lib64 and /lib32 : 64/32-bit libraries (architecture dependent)
  > The 64-bit architectures PPC64, s390x, sparc64 and AMD64 must place
64-bit libraries in /lib64, and 32-bit (or 31-bit on s390) libraries in
/lib.

In which case I'm sorry, I think this patch can be removed then.
