Hi Lucas,

We have a fixed build in the pipeline; it is indeed a multilib problem 
(/usr/lib vs /usr/lib64). I've attached a patch that makes the Vala 
build process more multilib-friendly (allowing LIB to be overridden in 
configure.mk, and properly generating the plugins .pc file) but I have 
not fixed the AppDirs.vala's hardcoding of "lib" rather than taking the 
LIB value from the Makefile.

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3421

My m4-foo is not that solid, so we just ended up patching AppDirs.vala 
directly using sed as part of our build preparation. If you can find a 
way to use m4 (to be consistent with the rest of the build process) to 
automatically replace, say, _LIB_ with whatever LIB is set to, in 
AppDirs.vala, like my patch does for the plugins .m4 file, that'd be 
wonderful.

Thanks,
