Sigh. Would you mind filing a bug with *Apple* not us? There's no
good reason why they have to break this. They are certainly free to
rearrange their installation however they like, but that doesn't
excuse them from updating $Config{archlibexp} to reflect it.

I realize of course that Cupertino is a bit impervious to suggestions
like that ... but if nobody even makes the suggestion, it's only partly
their fault.
