Yes, I am running 64-bit Arch Linux, and basically all libraries go in
/lib and /usr/lib, with the exception of a handful that go in /lib64.
I'm not sure why this is, but it seems to confuse the logic in the
ToolChains.cpp file into thinking it should use a "lib64" directory.

My patch was simply to force the use of "lib" on Arch Linux, so
hopefully that works for 32-bit and 64-bit.

I have not tried anything in C++ as of yet, so I would not have seen
the issue your patch addressed.  Hopefully it can be added as well, as
I likely will encounter it at some point.
