Simple. If it's built for a 32 bit box, /usr/lib, if it's built for a 64
bit box /usr/lib64.

Correct, but they still follow the packaging guidelines of using the
lib/lib64 for the architecture.

%{buildroot} is the root directory where the RPM is put together.
%{_javadir} is normally %{_libdir}/jvm (or similar
