Can anybody shed some light on why binutils is creating a separate
folder hierarchy under a folder "x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu"?
The best information I could find was that these are the files that
relate to 64bit architectures. But if I'm not building a multi-arch
system, shouldn't everything be compiled for x86-64bit? I've looked
around and tried to find a switch to tell binutils to only build for
64bit. But I cant seem to find anything. Can anybody point me in the
right direction?

Hi Keith,

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
Nick
