And in any case, your solution to the /lib vs. /lib64 dilemma was:

which is probably a bit kludgier than I want to go.

BTW, why do you build glibc twice?  In http://kegel.com/crosstool,
I only have to build it once, using the bootstrap compiler,
and it works well for all the 32 bit platforms I've tried,
as far as I can tell.
