noarch and %{_libdir} issues on 64-bit platforms

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!

If someone tries to package executable script (arch-neytral) which must be
placed into %{_libdir}/something (for example, nagios-plugin which must go
into %{_libdir}/nagios/plugins ), he quickly founds that he actually can't
mark package as noarch, because on both 32- and 64-bit systems %{_libdir}
points to /usr/lib . There is an obvious workaround - not to mark the
package as noarch.

How to overcome this issue and package utility as noarch?
