Details

Description: When /usr/lib64 symlink exists in filesystem, mkinitcpio puts SO-level symlinks to /usr/lib64 instead to /usr/lib in initramfs.
If I remove /usr/lib64 symlink in filesystem, libraries are missing in initramfs.

Additional info:
* package version(s) mkinitcpio 0.12.0-3, filesystem 2013.01-3, glibc 2.17-3, linux 3.7.5-1

Steps to reproduce:
mkinitcpio -p linux
reboot
   initramfs.broken (7.7 KiB)
   initramfs.fixed (7.7 KiB)
This task depends upon

This is already fixed in 0.13.0. Frankly, your config is wrong since Arch never used /usr/lib64 for anything. If you added it to /etc/ld.so.conf, then you're very wrong.

Just figured that myself, too. I added /usr/lib64 to ld.so.conf a long time ago to make some binary work.
