Comment (by spot):

 I think that is a really bad idea, sorry Vit. Creating that macro and
 encouraging its use is simply begging for people to misuse it. Again, on
 an x86_64 box, that macro would eval to /usr/lib64, and I _guarantee_
 someone will put files in that path, and the package would build but not
 work on i686, since nothing on i686 is expecting to look in /usr/lib64 for
 _anything_.

 I've pointed out the path to a viable and proper solution for ruby. Please
 consider focusing on that.
