Many Linux distribution (most of them) distinguish between library directory /usr/lib for noarch or 32bit libraries and /usr/lib64. This patch (originally from openSUSE) enables to capture this distinction.

Hum. I'm not sure about "unix_home" scheme in distutils. It seems like Fedora still writes files into $HOME/.../lib/... and not $HOME/.../lib64/.... Example on Fedora 28:

vstinner@apu$ python3 -m pip install --user greenlet

    /home/vstinner/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/greenlet.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
Proceed (y/n)?

I think there are open tickets discussing this, and the problem is more complex that a simple PR:

- Debian does multiarch that’s more than just lib/lib64
- some systems have lib32 I think
- recent systems merge / and /usr, is that relevant?
- how does virtualenv follow or customize install schemes
- doko patches Python in Debian and Ubuntu to edit sysconfig/distutils

This updated patch fix two missing lib/lib64
It works for me.

# python3-32 -c "import sys; print('\n'.join(sys.path))"
/usr/lib/python37.zip
/usr/lib/python3.7
/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload
/root/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages


# python3-64 -c "import sys; print('\n'.join(sys.path))"  
/usr/lib64/python37.zip
/usr/lib64/python3.7
/usr/lib64/python3.7/lib-dynload
/root/.local/lib64/python3.7/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages

@carlos.velasco ... OK, so build of 3.7.2rc1 on x86_64 doesn't pass the testsuite (see the attached log).
