It is not a defect when the LFS book only currently supports a 32-bit platform. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/prologue/hostreqs.html: "This version of the book builds a 32-bit Linux system and requires an existing 32-bit version of the kernel on the Intel/AMD x86 architecture. Adding capability for x86_64 systems is a major objective of a future version of LFS. Support for 64-bit systems and additional architectures can be found in the Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch (CLFS) project at http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn."; LFS certainly has plans to go 64-bit but as of this very moment it does not support it, therefore if you want a 64-bit system you should be using CLFS.
