The subject line doesn't say what this is for, but it looks like
iproute2...

On a bi-arch system, surely the lib64 directories should be preferred to
the lib directories?  And this still leaves multi-arch to be handled.

I think this should be done with pkg-config:

    pkg-config --variable=xtlibdir xtables

possibly with that directory list as a fallback if it's useful to
support iptables library versions that didn't include xtables.pc.
