x86_64 build method

[Jeremy Huntwork]

This is a continuation from here:

Starting a new thread because the last one was getting unwieldy and had 
several different topics running through it.

Greg, the host I was working from was a current CLFS development 
snapshot. All that 'ls -ld /l*' shows me is:

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 2696 2007-07-19 16:35 /lib

As an aside, the effects of their not having a /lib64 dir or symlink 
seems to be that if I want to use a CLFS system as a host, I *must* use 
their pure64 patch. I tried a build last night without using that patch 
and just using --disable-multilib and appropriate symlinks and gcc pass1 
failed when it got to stage1 of the bootstrap. I didn't get the 
opportunity to add a /lib64 symlink and test it further...

I suppose that if the above is correct this also means that your native 
build expects a /lib64 dir or symlink on the host?

I found a Ubuntu CD and a spare partition, so I'll be using them as a 
host for my next test. I may also run a DIY build, just to familiarize 
myself more with your current setup.
