Actually that's not entirely correct either - lib64 is specific to multi-lib
Linux distros only. Fedora / RHEL are multi-lib, Debian isn't.

To be honest, Xen shouldn't be putting binaries in /usr/{lib,lib64}/xen/bin.
They should be in /usr/libexec instead. For compat with existing 
configs a symlink from /usr/{lib,lib64}/xen/bin to /usr/libexec could be
used

Dan.
