On a pure64 system this directory is not created.
Question is:
1) should a symlink from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 be created in the
section Creating Directories in chapters 7 & 8
or
2) #define HaveLib64 NO in the xc/config/cf/host.def

BLFS issues. Since the BLFS book is purely x86 at the moment, this
sort of thing is better discussed on blfs-support. If you search the
archives for blfs-support, you will find that pure64 wants three
defines in host.def - HaveLib64 only controls the libGL symlink, you
also want
#define LibDirName lib
#define LibDir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
(obviously, the last of these assumes you are using the old
/usr/X11R6, if you put pure64 X into /usr you'll have to document the
issues yourself)
Hint for search.linuxfromscratch.org: look for both x86_64 and pure64.
I agree that xorg is a BLFS support issue and that deals with case 2.
Case 1 is a bit like /usr/man link to /usr/share/man, which is a LFS
cross issue.
That's why I posted it here.
Sorry if this was wrong.
