BASE_LIB_tune-... appears only to be used by multilib.conf.  If you're
not doing a multilib build then it doesn't seem as though that variable
will have any useful effect.

>From a quick perusal of the conf files it looks as though setting 

baselib = "lib64"

might be the appropriate thing to do if you really want to use /lib64
even though your architecture is natively 64-bit. 

If you _are_ using multilib then I guess you would need to instrument
that class a bit to see why it isn't doing the right thing.
