Hi Michael,

Yes, agreed. This is also true for ppc64. So for libraries it is
common /lib resp. /usr/local/lib for 32-bit libs and /lib64 resp.
/usr/local/lib64 for 64-bit libs.
What about binaries/execs? As Vlad mentioned there is a mixture of it.
And that's true. Just to mention some flavors:
* All in /bin resp. /usr/local/bin. Without suffix: some are in 32-bit,
some are in 64-bit. With suffix: xyz64 and/or xyz32
* In different dirs: /bin resp. /usr/local/bin for 64-bit and /bin32
resp. /usr/local/bin32 for 32-bit
...
I just adopt the scheme of gdb for 32-bit and gdb64 for 64-bit, both
in bin dir. Certainly not the best.
Regards
Nam
