Description Friedrich Oslage (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

When the configure script tries to determine the location of the OpenSP Library it checks for the existance of the /usr/lib64 directory not the actual /usr/lib64/libosp.la file.

This causes compilation to fail if run on a system with a (mostly) 32bit userland where /usr/lib64 exists.

Low severity because afaik we don't have a profile where this applies(yet).

Something like this should be applied to fix it:
--- a/configure
+++ b/configure
