I don't know if anyone else cares, but I need to run some binary-only  
commercial distributions on my system (specifically the DB/C database  
system) that aren't available in 64-bit versions, so it would be handy  
for me. But I don't claim that represents a common case for LFS users.

Plus it lets you build grub, which is otherwise complicated (or in my  
experience, impossible) on pure64 systems.
