Cross-LFS has always done that for pure64. It's a _long_ while since I last built clfs x86_64-64 and many things have changed, but the main difference is that clfs still uses a specfile - their build is now quite different from how LFS has evolved. If you do something like that, then yes, a few _blfs_ packages will probably get confused by the absence of /lib64. OTOH, you would get a nice clean system - but the build for x86_64 will be somewhat different from what is currently in LFS. I've a feeling that someone, perhaps our late colleague Andy, used to build 64-bit LFS without the symlink - but I've no idea of the details about how to do it (and that was before libstdc++ and g++ became required for building gcc, so the details would have to change for gcc-4.8).
