I already did know that. The *-none-elf configurations I primarily use them
in my own embedded projects. But there seems for me, there are more 
differences.

Yes, the binutils are configured as *-none-elf. For my projects these
configuration works fine. But I'm wondering why the x86_64-none-elf build
didn't work when I try to compile the Linux kernel. AFAIK, Linux use it's
own libc and also some functions from libgcc.

So I have thought there must be another differences. Like how comments
are interpreted, as example (The assembler error, when I try to build
Linux with a x86_64-none-elf is inner a comment.).

Currently I have only compared the Makefile from GCC after configuration,
and only seen that additional _GNU_SOURCE is defined in the *-linux-gnu
configuration.
