respect libdir properly on exotic platforms

Currently numactl does:
libdir:=${prefix}/$(shell ./getlibdir)
where "getlibdir" is a simple script based on "uname -m". Of course it utterly fails on platforms like ppc64-32ul, prefix etc.

since it could conceivably be used by the build system, we should fix it before configure/compile steps.  how about:

src_prepare() {
  echo "echo $(get_libdir)" > getlibdir
}

or:

src_prepare() {
  sed -i \
    -e "/^libdir/s:/.*:$(get_libdir):" \
    ...
}

Acctually, that ^^ was my first implementation. I've then fallenback to passing libdir to emake just to save space. But you're right replacing getlibdir is definitely safer way.
