I found a way to reproduce it and fix it, I believe!

Just curious, what's your build host arch?  and what does gcc 
-print-multi-os-directory return on your host?

It returns lib64 on my host and it causes the libs to be installed in 
the <WORKDIR>/image/usr/lib64 dir and not get picked up by the 
populate_sysroot() code.

I commented out some code in configure.ac and that seems to have solved 
the problem, but I am not sure if we need to start adding lib64 to 
populate_sysroot or tweaking configure code!

Sau!
