FHS compliant. If you don't please don't submit any

/lib64 is an awful scheme. I'd avoid it.
Consider what happens in the existing scenario where you have capability
to run both IA64 and x86-64 binaries on the same system.
The problem is that there is currently no defined protocol
for passing data to the 64bit part of the kernel, so while
it would be possible to write a boot loader that starts
a 64bit kernel it would be very kernel version dependent.
Good point.
