When I use prefix=/usr and try to install libtraceevent in my laptop it tries to install in /usr/lib64. I am not having any folder as /usr/lib64 and also the debian policy doesnot allow installing in /usr/lib64. It should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
Quote: No package for a 64 bit architecture may install files in /usr/lib64/ or in a subdirectory of it. ref: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html
Make it more flexible by allowing to mention libdir_relative while installing so that distros can mention the path according to their policy or use the default one.

Hi Steve,
And yet another one (hopefully the final one for now). I know I missed the merge window, but your Ack should be ok.
