My problem was due to my lack of understanding of the rpm
build system.  I was using the rpmmacro %makeinstall.  This was
overriding the configured libdir with the system default for libdir.
I've changed the install step to do the following, though I'm not
certain if this is the correct solution.

make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install

Both FreeBSD and Gentoo use portage, correct?  Where do I look to see
how these steps are performed on those systems?
