I think, this will break/change some packages...


After creating (manually) lib64 -> lib symlinks in the sysroot, I managed
to build a non trivial 64-bit system (e.g. with vdr and perl stuff) with
(nearly) standard settings (2011.03-maintenance).  But necessary tricks
like the BUILD_VENDOR and some minor fixes (like these in openssl) caused
me to see this as very experimental.
