Hi everyone! First of all, sorry for bringing up, perhaps, a trivial matter, but since it's about the sources I guess it's better to ask it here.
I'm investigating a curious problem caused by the fact that in a user's virtualenv, created with the standard "venv" module, "lib64" directory, traditionally symlinked to "lib", gets included in sys.path instead of "lib" itself. ``` $ python -msite sys.path = [ '/current/working/directory' '/usr/lib64/python36.zip', '/usr/lib64/python3.6', '/usr/lib64/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/path/to/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages', ] ``` The user is on Gentoo, and, though the venv's layout is exactly the same, it's different from the typical result on a Debian-based distribution where it's the original "lib" in sys.path, not its "lib64" link. I'm wondering what's controlling this behavior. Modules/getpath.c doesn't mention architecture-dependent lib directories anywhere, at least at first glance. Could someone please give me a hint about where to look in the sources or, maybe, which build options are affecting this?
