3136	LFS 7.1 - 5.4. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1 on x86_64	Jussi Kuosa	lfs-book@…	"I'm doing my first pass on 64bit debian 6 VM and I ran across a minor problem in section 5.4. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1. The code snippet in the x86_64 note tries to create /tools/lib, but it has already been created during libiberty installation:

make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty'
make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite'
/bin/sh ../../binutils-2.22/libiberty/../mkinstalldirs /tools/lib/`gcc -g -O2 -print-multi-os-directory`
mkdir -p -- /tools/lib/../lib
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./libiberty.a /tools/lib/`gcc -g -O2 -print-multi-os-directory`/./libiberty.an

Therefore, the proposed
case $(uname -m) in
    x86_64) mkdir -v /tools/lib && ln -sv lib /tools/lib64 ;;
esac
code fails with
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tools/lib': File exists
and the symlink from `/tools/lib64' -> `lib' has to be done manually by re-running ln -sv lib /tools/lib64.

NOTE: 7.1 is missing from Trac Version field value list.
