Yeah I agree it needs more testing. And yes we can check if the lib64
folder exists and then create a symlink. If there's no lib64 folder,
we can create a symlink named lib64 to the lib folder. I assume this
will cover most of the architectures since the lib folder existed in
almost all the architectures that I tested.
