But where do the PPC64 libraries go?

It's all nice and good to have a solution for x86, but there are other architechtures that can support multiple ABI formats simultaneously, it would be nice to do it in a way that works for everyone.

Fortunatly, the dynamic linker is smart and solves 99% of the problem for us. We just need to make sure that packages don't try to install over the top of eachother.
