+Subject: [PATCH] gpg-error-config: handle /usr/lib64, /lib64 just like
+ /usr/lib and /lib
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Distributions such as Gentoo Linux use /usr/lib64 for system libraries on
+multilib setups, so in those cases, ignore the libraries as well.
