No change in name, change in directory holding it.

ie.. lib64/libphobos*

That's what most major distributions do.

For example:

# a 64 bit linux box
$ ls -ld /lib*
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 12288 Jul 23 17:36 /lib
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 May 30 13:06 /lib32
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     4 Jan 23  2009 /lib64 -> /lib


# a 32 bit linux box
$ ls -ld /lib*
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 12288 2010-08-17 16:03 /lib
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2010-08-17 16:02 /lib64
