+      LFS editors have deliberately decided not to use a
+      <filename class="directory">/usr/lib64</filename> directory.  Several
+      steps are taken so that the toolchain does not use it. If for any
+      reason this directory appears (either because you made an error in
+      following the instructions, or because you install a binary package that
+      creates it after finishing LFS), it may break the instructions given in
+      the book. You should often ensure that this directory is non-existent.

+      The FHS does not enforce the existence of the directory
+      <filename class="directory">/usr/lib64</filename>, and the LFS editors
+      have decided not to use it. For the instructions in LFS and BLFS to work,
+      it is imperative that this directory be non-existent. You should often
+      check that it does not exist, because it is easy to inadvertently
+      create it, which will likely break your system.
