32-bit programs needing libssl.so on 64-bit?

[Jonathan Adamczewski]

A further thought is that the dynamic linker/loader (ld) should be
different for 32- and 64-bit executables, and each should try to resolve
library dependancies automagically. The trick would then be to put
32-bit libssl.so into the location that 32-bit dynamic libraries are
expected to be found (/lib32, /usr/lib32, /usr/local/lib32 etc on my
machine) and let the dynamic linker handle it for you. Hopefully RHEL's
setup is that clever :)
