I suspect you have a stray '/lib64/lib64 -> /' or something like that.
In any case, this should be fixed by:

https://github.com/mgorny/unsymlink-lib/commit/b12feb90bdb72195f0ca5eede306783213bdacc9

I'd appreciate if you could retest with that commit on top (or taking
unsymlink-lib off git). This time it should not wipe your entire system,
hopefully.

...except for suspicious 'lib64' file? ;-)
