DetailsDescription:
Upon upgrading to glibc-2.16.0-4-x86_64, the proprietary Nvidia graphics card driver will not function properly. Xorg reports failure to load libglx.so with a "wrong ELFclass, ELFCLASS32" error in logfiles. Viewing OpenGL/GLX Information tab in nvidia-settings reports "Failure to query GLX server vendor." Version of Nvidia driver doesn't seem to matter. Issue first observed using 304.43-x86_64, downgrading to 304.37-x86_64 had same result. Clearing xorg.conf, uninstalling Nvidia driver, and performing new re-install provided same outcome. Downgrading to glibc-2.16.0-3-x86_64 and re-installing video drivers corrects the problem. Additional info: * package version(s) -glibc-2.16.0-4-x86_64 * config and/or log files etc. -see attachments. Steps to reproduce: 1. Upgrade to glibc-2.16.0-4-x86_64 while using proprietary Nvidia drivers. 2. 3D programs break. 3. Downgrade to glibc-2.16.0-3-x86_64 and re-install proprietary Nvidia drivers. 4. 3D programs work.

@falconindy: Here you go, command output for current and previous versions of glibc --
This is not supported, and it's why things are now broken. Arch has never used /usr/lib64.
Install nvidia from extra.
Sorry for the erroneous bug report, then.
