Yeah for sure.

I think I hit the same issue and I added a little note for it in the
bootstrap guide.  If you're bootstrapping 64-bits, you need to have the
64-bits paths in your searchpath, where they are non standard.

It's in this line:

If you are targetting a 64-bits native Prefix, append -L and -R flags
for /usr/sfw/lib/64 to your LDFLAGS. Additionally set CC="gcc -m64",
CXX="g++ -m64" and HOSTCC="gcc -m64".

note the /usr/sfw/lib/64, it contains the 64-bits version of
libgcc_s.so.1, that the linker should find (after skipping the
incompatible 32-bits version).

If you already did this, it looks like something weird is going on.
