I like this idea, but..

..please please call this 'abi' instead.

Fine so far.

This can't work; abi/x86 can't be both a file and a subdir.
Maybe call them abi/x86 and abi/x86_SYMLINK_LIB_compatibility ?
(Or x86_lib32, although that is a lot less descriptive.)

Same here with abi/amd64 being both file and subdir.

I think it looks good.
