It can, but it is silly, it drives us into problems, as in #325226.

The mentioned ABI in A.1 also says, that Linux amd64 libraries
should be in /lib64, /usr/lib64.

To be precise, ABI in section 5.2.1 says 

"There is one valid program interpreter for programs conforming 
to the AMD64 ABI:
   /lib/ld64.so.1
 However, Linux puts this in
   /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
"
So Linux choosen to diverge. 

Does FreeBSD/amd64 use /lib64 at all ?
