I think you missed the point Andreas tried to make.

Let's say you have $USER1$ = /path/to/lib32/nagios/plugins, and
$USER2$=/path/to/lib64/nagios/plugins, thus, you should define x86_32
commands and x86_64 commands as usual, but using $USER1$ and $USER2$ where
pertinent, and then, on every x64 system, you should use the _64 commands.
