[Rivet] No analyses if libdir is lib64

[Leif Lönnblad]

I had this problem on my laptop a while back. I noticed that the reason 
that configure decided to use lib64 instead of lib was that It checked a 
system-wide environment variable called CONFIG_SITE pointing to a config 
file where this was specified. Un-setting CONFIG_SITE causes the good 
old lib directory to be used by configure.

Using lib64 should in principle work, but for some reason rivet will 
internally find the path by a call to br_find_lib_dir function in 
Rivet::getLibPath() which for some reason returns lib rather than lib64.

Cheers,
Leif
