Hi Keith,

> Can anybody shed some light on why binutils is creating a separate folder hierarchy under a folder "x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu"?

I think that we need to know more about what you are doing.

Can you show us exactly the steps that you are taking when you encounter this issue ?

Generally speaking, if a particular target supports both 32-bit and 64-bit
implementations then the binutils will automatically build support for both.
Normally however this should not be an issue.  If you only use the 64-bit
features of an architecture then the support for the 32-bit version will
just be ignored.

Cheers
