This is indeed a problem. The symlink should be moved from glibc to
filesystem. I don't know why we put it in glibc, historical anomaly I
guess. I'll prepare a couple of PRs today which will have to be
carefully pushed in a single side tag to fix this.
Shouldn't the symlink point in the opposite direction anyway?
/usr/lib64/lp64d is the actual canonical path, /usr/lib64 is just for
compatibility.
Though apparently (see elsewhere in the thread) Gentoo does it this
way too, so maybe there's something I'm missing that makes the
current direction more desirable.
