Ah, I didn't see that because it wasn't needed anymore. Thanks for making 
that clear now that's not needed. I'm sure you were waiting for that to 
throw it in my face at the right moment ;)

It would have been nicer without the allegations, but I didn't expect it 
otherwise in the heat of this discussion.

It doesn't segfault here on RH80, RH90 and RHFC1. That's why I thought you 
had it in place for earlier versions. Aparantly not. No harm done.

But you wouldn't be using the correct macros. On a x86_64 it would get 
installed in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. (This example doesn't have 
libraries, but it would have been good practice to do it everywhere if 
possible).

Ok, then we agree to disagree. Minor issue.
