I think so.  It's a nice symmetrical distinction.  On Unix /usr/lib is<br>
ambiguous.  Some systems added /usr/lib64, some /usr/lib32,, all in an<br>
effort to not confront the necessity of changing the old /usr/lib into<br>
/usr/lib32.  We don't have to repeat the same mistake/  It's a litt;e<br>
painful at fiurst but using spur32 & spur64, and not using spur is clear<br>
and easier for scripts, etc.  IMO.<br>
