+Summary: documentation advocates placing mono apps in a non-multilib aware directory
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+http://www.mono-project.com/Guidelines:Application_Deployment
+has information about where applications should place their assemblies. 
+This is written out as ${PREFIX}/lib/APPLICATION.  This does not play well
+with multilib systems.
+
+On an x86_64 multilib systems, the library path for arch specific data may
+end up being ${PREFIX}/lib64/ so the application should install into
+${PREFIX}/lib64/APPLICATION on those systems.  Using ${LIBDIR}/APPLICATION
+allows packagers on these systems to place the applications into the
+correct location by setting LIBDIR=${PREFIX}/lib64 when building nad
+installing.
+
+I would like to see hte recommendation changed to reflect this.
