The library structure which GCC uses is the standard directory layout for x86_64 if you have something different, then you have a broken install. > So I suggest since the directory where Gentoo installs is not wrong but > the directory where gcc expects the 32bit libraries to reside is wrong, > it would be nice that gcc provides an option at the configure script where > one instructs it where to find the 32bit and the 64bit libraries. Again what GCC does is the standard directory layout and yes there is a standard. */lib/ should contain the 32bit libraries while */lib64/ should contain the 64bit libraries. This is so you can move a program compiled for x86 on to a x86_64 machine without having to recompile it. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29937
