Specifically, in such cases the GCC configure option is 
--enable-target=all to enable 64-bit multilibs for a default-32-bit 
target, and the binutils/GDB configure option is --enable-64-bit-bfd.  But 
you can also make a binutils/GDB target include 64-bit support 
unconditionally without requiring --enable-64-bit-bfd.
