If the default build is 64 bit, why does it make sense that the default library directory is the 32 bit library?
Because the user may not be building for multiple architectures, in which case a default of $prefix/lib for libdir makes perfect sense and causes no problems. For example, even though /usr/local/lib64 exists on my CentOS system, it is empty, /usr/local/lib is not, but contains only 64bit libs.
