In addition, it would have been _very_ nice if it had been
prominently announced that with (I believe) 25594:ad08cd8e7097
it is now _required_ to configure with --libdir on x86-64, or else all
the .so-s end up under /usr/lib. Figuring this out and getting the
patch here in the right form to be able to use the most compatible
form --libdir='${exec_prefix}'/lib64 has taken me a good part of
the day, which could have been avoided if this whole configure
adjustment (much like had apparently been missing already in
earlier cases) had been done properly. I just can't imagine I'm
the only one having used no options at all, and things working
nevertheless despite .../lib not being in the library search paths
used when running xl et al.
