How can I customize builtin module search path to prefix/lib to prefix/lib64?

[js]

For 64bit python, there's no need to look at lib/lib-dynload because
libraries for 64bit should be in
lib64/lib-dynload. Having module search path which point to libraries
the python can not understand
is, IMHO, wrong.
