Description:	On 64-bit systems, the Makefile includes a test, whether an old Asterisk installation is still present on the system. This is done in the target _check-old-libdir_:{code}It is unlikely that asterisk will start.{code}Gentoo Linux for example (tested 17.0), the Makefile tests /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. However, because /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64, the above warning is printed. This issue was introduced by ASTERISK-26705 (commit [4692a32|http://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/commit/4692a32ed7dccf3248383978741515a0e5b1ce85]). Attached is a patch which is GNU (Linux) and not POSIX compatible – therefore it does not work in BSD based systems. I have no idea how to tackle this correctly except to remove that target completely.
