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.

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.
