  Configure does not find libs in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: perl

  Attempting to build the 'perl' package fails on natty.

  libc6 in natty has moved the core system libs (such as libm) that used
  to be in /lib into /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Perl's Configure script does
  not include this path in libspath/libpth/loclibpth so it fails to find
  the libraries. Subsequently the libs are dropped from the build line
  for gcc and the build falls over during linking.

  I have reproduced this on my system by grabbing the src-deb via 'apt-
  get source perl' both on the base system and in a pbuilder env..

  The end result is a build failure

  ---------
  Under a normal build several libs should follow at the end of the build line, like '-lm'
