I am sorry, my question is relevant:
why the target is lib while there is not any directory named lib in the

The original code is this:
x86_64) mkdir -v /tools/lib && ln -sv lib /tools/lib64 ;;
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/binutils-pass1.html
The target is relative to --prefix. It will be /tools/lib in Chapter 5.

It seems to me that the question is about the "lib" in
"ln -s lib /tools/lib64". This has nothing to do with --prefix,
but rather with how "ln -s" work. "ln -s" creates a small file
(aka a "symlink", whose name is /tools/lib64 in this case), and
that file contains a path (lib in this case). If that path does
not begin with a "/", it is relative to the directory where the
symlink resides. So here, it is relative to /tools, and
it points to /tools/lib, which is what we want.
