The issue might be caused by Debian's new multiarch libraries. In recent
versions of Debian (and Ubuntu), 64bit and 32bit libraries can coexist
on the same system.

What's the output of "dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH" on your
system? It should print out "x86_64-linux-gnu". setup.py supports
multiarch for some time, see PyBuildExt.add_multiarch_paths().
