Yeah, dlopen() problems with not finding libraries in /lib32 don't tend to happen, mostly because it's just easier to do it the right way from the start and let dlopen() search the appropriate directories. (Even on pure 32-bit systems, some libraries are in /lib on some systems, /usr/lib on others, and perhaps even in /usr/local/lib or $HOME/lib if they've been manually installed.)

dlopen() doesn't search directories for you, does it? Programs generally want to look in a subdirectory of the libdir, anyway. Nonetheless they almost all look in the right place.
