Greetings John, LFS only sets a link and doesn't change gcc specs to use only /lib,/usr/lib. We do this in CLFS with pure64 bit builds. View our instructions at http://clfs.org/view/CLFS-SYSTEMD-TRUNK-GIT-20151029/x86_64-64/ and take note of our GCC 5.2 ticket at http://trac.clfs.org/ticket/1019 where the patches you need for pure64 bit will be. I've built LFS many times with building only the CLFS toolchain. So you shouldn't have any issues. LFS could choose to use /usr/lib,/lib for a pure64 bit build, but it just adds more complexity and confusion to the book and the book works now for x86/x86_64. Also, some users do wish to enable multilib later on, and keeping current LFS layout lets a user do that without much effort than if LFS did use /usr/lib:/lib.
