Gerardo,

thanks very much for that info.


In the bigger picture, while I can appreciate that the multilib setup
is not "officially supported", I am wondering if there is any danger
to adding 
	LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
to the slackbuild template (and to most slackbuilds).

That is, if
(a) it doesn't break anything on non-multilib systems, and
(b) it makes more slackbuilds work on multilib systems
then aside from one more line of code, is there any harm?

Thanks.
