Description:
------------
When running configure on a 64-bit machine, the script doesn't check /usr/lib64 for libraries.  I've had to resort to the workaround used in older php 4.x.x builds that exhibited this issue, to wit:

    ln -s /usr/lib64 /opt/lib
    ln -s /usr/include /opt/include

and then specifying things like this to configure:

    --with-jpeg-dir=/opt --with-png-dir=/opt --with-mysql=/opt

to get around it.  Even "--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64" won't solve it.  I thought this was fixed in 5.1.x, but it's crept back in.
 
I don't mean to be rude, but is this stuff tested on 64-bit systems before release?

Because Fedora (and its various derivative distributions) have their
unusual filesystem layout with /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib holding
the libraries, the --with-libdir configure option needs to be used, eg:
./configure --with-libdir=lib64 <other options>

That is the first thing I tried.  The "--with-libdir=/usr/lib64" will remove the need to specify "--with-mysql=/opt", but it does not fix the jpeg or png library resolution issue.  You still have to specify

    "--with-jpeg-dir=/opt --with-png-dir=/opt"

even with "--with-libdir=/usr/lib64".
