rpmbuild for PPC sticks libs in /usr/lib64

[Matthew Saltzman <mjs ces clemson edu>]

(I've put gnumeric aside for a bit.)

I tried to build Axel Thimm's f2c RPM for PPC using:

	rpmbuild -bb --target ppc f2c-20031026-2.el4.at.spec

(after fixing a minor spec file issue).  When it finishes building on my 
PPC64 system, it installs the libraries it built into /usr/lib64 instead 
of /usr/lib.  Of course, as these are 32-bit libraries, it wreaks havoc 
with the linker when it looks for libf2c.a.

Target ppc is definitely 32 bits, so what is causing _libdir to be set to 
/usr/lib64?  Is it a bug?  (Nothing that appears relevant is set in the 
spec file or in my .rpmmacros file.)
