I don't think you can have it both ways. If your system's ABI is 32 bit in /usr/lib32 and 64 bit in /usr/lib, then you should probably build the binaries that way. If you want your system's ABI to be compatible with a 32 bit only system, then put the 64 bit libraries in /usr/lib64 like everybody else.

Mesa libGL is certainly not the only library that dlopen's modules from private directories. What would you do about, say, gstreamer?

I would commit a patch that changes the search path via a configure argument as long as it doesn't change the default.
