Details:

GNU Make's library search feature (activated by prerequisites of the form
-lLIBNAME) searches the hard-coded directories /lib and /usr/lib along with
make's own libdir.  This is unhelpful on a multilib system.  Make should
provide a way to vary the search path depending on the architecture of the
target being built.

I originally reported this against Fedora, and I posted a patch series there
that adds the feature and makes some other cleanups:
