That looks an awful lot like RedHat's half baked implementation of biarch
support. It has bitten an awful lot of people, particularly because the
toolchain shipped with RedHat isn't particularly good about supporting
the directory layout they ship, leading builds to do silly things like
find the headers while building a 64bit app and then fail at link time
because they found the 32 bit .so first. While I am of the opinion that
documenting a RedHat issue isn't a job for exim docs, maybe an example
of this type in the top level Makefile wouldn't go completely amiss?
Cheers,
