See my follow up, that's not a complete solution either because the 
$target-tcc compilers aren't build with NATIVE_DEFINES.  There are three 
major ways of dealing with multi-lib systems:

1 no multi-lib at all.  subcases:
  a) 64-bit only into /lib64
  b) 64-bit only but into /lib
2 restricted multi-lib, 32-bit or 64-bit
  at least non-debian linuxes:
  a) 64-bit to /lib64, 32-bit to /lib, 64-bit considered "native"
  b) 64-bit to /lib, 32-bit to /lib32, 64-bit considered "native"
3 unrestricted multi-lib, aka multiarch
  debian linuxes:
  everything to /usr/$triplet/lib

I don't know about the *BSDs, but probably they fit one of the above.  The 
way to find out which directory is used by gcc when calling without 
options (i.e. the default) is to inspect the output of

% gcc --print-file-name=crt1.o

The second to last component will be the libdir name.  The full path could 
also be used.

Yeah, it's the (as of now) most recent commit that broke it :)


Ciao,
