Ooh, that's a clever trick... :) That would ease the pain somewhat, but
still wouldn't help the myth configure scripts as they just look for the
existence of files. If the file exists in /lib then that doesn't
actually tell us which arch that file is available for :-/ so we don't
actually know if we have the lib or not :)
