LIB_SUFFIX is something I introduced, and I was just improving it.

The default, using lib64 for all 64 bit Linux, goes too far.  e.g. lib64
doesn't exist on Debian

However, I don't have access to every other platform for testing - I was
going to send out an email about this.

Can you please let me know the value of $host on Suse and any other
Linux dists you know of?
