%{_jnidir} is defined as %{_prefix}/lib/java; no %{_libdir} there, 
it's /usr/lib/java on lib64 archs too, ditto the versioned /usr/lib/java-* 
dirs.  I suppose that's a relic/bug from JPackage (whose conventions don't 
take lib64 into account due to hysterical raisins AFAIK) and should 
eventually be fixed there as well.  jpackage-utils should probably change 
from noarch to arch dependent if/when this gets fixed.
