Summary:                    CMake searching of library path on AMD64
architectures with GNU/Linux
Description: 
When looking for libraries (in the context of native, ie 64bits, building)
on AMD64/x86_64 architectures under GNU/Linux variants, cmake first tries
the lib variants first and lib64 variant next.

While it is a fact that some distributions links lib <-> lib64 (see
additional informations for the correctness of this linking), cmake won't
work correctly on standards-compilent distributions (like fedora/red hat).
