More precisely, I mean 
/bin, /usr/bin for the primary arch, and
/bin32, /usr/bin32 for the secondary arch (32 bits) on x86_64.
And the reverse on ppc, /bin, /usr/bin for 32 bits and 
/bin64, /usr/bin64 for the secondary arch.
On ix86 /bin, /usr/bin only.

To be even more precise I prefer that solution to bin64 for 64 bits and 
bin for 32 bits irrespective of the primary arch. One issue, though is
that it is inconsistent with lib/lib64.
