I'm not really concerned so much with CLFS as BCLFS. For the most
part, I just copy and paste the commands, so if it has ${BUILD64} in
the book, then I'll use it. But I don't see much point in using it in
BCLFS. Shouldn't gcc automatically be using the -m64 settings on a
64-bit machine (pure or multilib)?

Jonathan,
There are 2 reasons for this consistency in our books
1: You can still build 32 bit applications with a 64 bit gcc.
2: The default compiler for MIPS is n32 in 64 bit mode.
