For reference, my use case is the Linux Steam client, which uses this
information to decide whether you are allowed to install 64-bit games. The
client itself is 32-bit application.

Of course, I already have a workaround applied
(https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils/blob/5ec9e681e97e0c797202f058210602c71e17e009/src/steamfix.c#L144).
I just thought it would be nice to report this.

Is there any practical reason not to load linux64 in the first place?
