I was unable to upgrade filesystem to latest version, /lib and /lib64 exists.

And I can't just remove the link, otherwise all binaries would fail to run,

Any thought?

# pacman -S filesystem

Okay, looks like upgrading glibc and filesystem together solved this problem,

Just do pacman -Syu

EDIT

I've put filesystem in IgnorePkg list in the old days, I have it removed now.

No: always run pacman -Syu and fully update your system... – jasonwryan Jan 30 at 9:11
@jasonwryan Ah, I put filesystem in the ignored package list .. that's the reason for pacman -S glibc filesystem, removed. – warl0ck Jan 30 at 9:21
