%{_libdir} wrong on x86_64 xenU on FC5 from xenguest-install.py

An update on this. It is not apache specific. It seems the stock FC5 xenguest-install.py
on x86_64, despite running the proper 64bit kernel/userland, is somehow using /usr/lib
as %{_libdir}. This is odd, as it is a virgin xenguest install from a x86_86 xen0, where
the xen0 properly expands %{_libdir} to /usr/lib64, but the installed xenU does not.

I've changed the bugzilla item to the xen component.
