Linux: directory change .../lib to .../lib64

Hello,

Below the top level directory (--prefix) the lib directory changed with
version 14.x now from .../lib to .../lib64:

ls -ld /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql-*/li*
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2754 19. Jul 09:58 /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql-13.3/lib
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1594 19. Okt 10:36 /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql-14.0/lib64
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2810 29. Nov 10:59 /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql-14.1/lib64

This would mean changes of LD_LIBRARY_PATH of our servers using the
PostgreSQL server with ESQL/C interface (libecpg.so.6). Why this change
was made? For a future 128-bit Linux?

I will see if I can overwrite this with:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql-14.1 \
--libdir=/usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql-14.1/lib ...

Btw: the help of ./configure says wrong things about the default:

./configure --help | egrep 'libdir=|prefix='
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]

Thanks

matthias
