i've only started following arm again as my last job (of 5+ years) was largely 
Blackfin related

considering i did the Gentoo/ARM port ~8 years ago and maintain the toolchain 
on Gentoo for all arches, i have a fairly big incentive to keep things clean.

i can let the fine wording of the tuple in the filename be hammered out by 
others.  if we don't care about multilib, then /lib/ is fine, and as long is it 
isn't crowed by subdir-cruft (i.e. /lib/<tuple>/), then i'm happy.

side note: you really need to fix your mailer.  the lack of proper wrapping is 
obnoxious.
