how about
myapp-1.0/priv/linux-x86/lib/
?
for the special case of a single computer installation (no network
export/mounting) it could then be possible to link
myapp-1.0/priv/linux-x86/lib/* to myapp-1.0/priv/lib/*
which is backwards compatible.

+1

Different OS/arch combos have different naming conventions and
limitations. Better to have those allocated to the right of the OS/arch
markers.

with link for backward compatibility we can even package apps that are
still not patched...
