lib64 is not included in the path

[grammy-jiang]

When I build the portable python in the docker image of centos 7.9, I notice when I enable libffi or specify openssl 3.x, the libraries are generated and located in /build/deps/lib64. And this folder is not configured to read when compiling, so it is already failed.

I have checked the source code,and only find all of the lines which use lib are missing lib64, e.g.:

• https://github.com/codrsquad/portable-python/blob/v1.9.1/src/portable_python/__init__.py#L510-L511
• https://github.com/codrsquad/portable-python/blob/v1.9.1/src/portable_python/__init__.py#L523-L525
• https://github.com/codrsquad/portable-python/blob/v1.9.1/src/portable_python/__init__.py#L532-L534

This potentially related with #41

Oh, don't know which part generates that, IIRC I only ever stated {build}/deps/lib (not lib64...).
Hmm. Should we do something like this?

lib64 = self.deps / "lib64"
if lib64.exists():
    return lib64

return self.deps / "lib"

Only the libraries of libffi and openssl are in lib64, so we still need to keep lib for other dependencies.

I did several tries about add lib64, but no lucky, the commit is here:

My idea is to add lib64 to all lib appearance, but failed.

The deps folder structure becomes like this with libffi and openssl enabled in the docker image of centos 7.9:

The log message from build/logs/12-cpython.log:

checking for openssl/ssl.h in /tmp/build/deps... yes
checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... no
checking for --with-ssl-default-suites... python

if libffi is not selected, the libraries of openssl are saved in lib, and in the log message it is yes:

checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... yes

The configure in cpython about openssl check (I am not familiar with this file):

Thank you for giving this a try. I build mostly on ubuntu and macos, and don't see lib64 there. Crossing fingers that #62 will solve it for you.
