Content
the patch in msg202343 is wrong, hardcoding lib64 on Debian/Ubuntu. At least the configure check should check for lib64 as a directory and not a symlink, and only then default to lib64. two other issues with the patch: - I would like to see any new OS-dependent locations in the sysconfig module, not the sys module. - Please don't depend on uname for the autoconf check, but on the gnu host triplet. - Please don't add another `arch' attribute to sys. We already have enough of these in sysconfig.
