It's a bit different in Mageia and iirc the other rpm based distros.
Normally /usr/lib/ is used here for 32bit libraries, x86_64 is for
64bit libraries. This is especially neccessary if you have to install
32bit and 64bit versions of the same library next to each other.

But looking into some of those files, lib is hardcoded there, so it
would need quite some patching to make them installable in lib64. But
since all but x2goslitewrapper is actually noarch, it will perhaps not
hurt much...
Especially as different from what I had in mind, our build system does
not block arch dependant 64bit binaries to be installed in /usr/lib :)
