Hi,

  In the x86_64 build of SL(C)4, it looks like the "final" symbolic
links (i.e. /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so and /usr/lib/libreadline.so)
are missing for the 32-bit compatibility libraries, see (a) below.

  Are they intentionally left out or is it just an oversight?

  If it is just an oversight, would it be possible to add the fix? The 
missing links make it difficult to build Qt and sqlite in 32-bit mode on 
64-bit SL(C)4 machines, which is needed at CERN these days for the newest
machines, without some ugly hacks... 

  (The archive libraries also seem to be missing, but that is perhaps less
important if the "final" link for the shared libraries could be added.)

                                 thanks,
                                   Pete
