sysvinit 2.86 bug with regards to AMD64 / x86-64

Description
Sysvinit fails to pass -lcrypt when linking sulogin if libcrypt.a exists not in /usr/lib but in /usr/lib64.
this is due to a bug in the makefile, as it only checks for libcrypt in /usr/lib. If you're compiling it to be a ELF 64bit binary, you need to link against /usr/lib64, especially if you have disabled multilib as a number of things currently insist on installing to lib64 directories without detecting this unless manually told otherwise.
I'm not sure if this patch should be committed, however, in the event that /usr/lib/libcrypt.a does not exist and /usr/lib64/libcrypt.a does, this should handle things nicely.
If this is of use, drop me an email and let me know. If it is not, drop me an email and let me know how to be of use. Thank you.

Thanks for your contribution. Would you mind contacting the sysvinit maintainer to get his feedback and ideally have it applied upstream so we don't have to maintain the patch ourselves? See ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.85.lsm for the email address.

As an aside, have any of the cross-lfs folks hit this already and can at least CONFIRM this bug? I don't remember seeing any reports on it, and I don't see any relevant patches at http://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/patches/?root=cross-lfs either.

This should be an issue on any architecture that uses a multilib scenario. Will verify shortly on sparc64 builds.

Jim, what's the status on this? Has cross-lfs managed to verify and/or fix this?

No complaints from my testers, but I can see how this can cause an error though.
The patch which fixes sysvinit-2.86/src/Makefile to look in /usr/lib64 for libcrypt.a
