yes

Well, if you refer to the ones "./bootstrap-prefix ...", then NO.  Those
packages are build tools only (not libraries or stuff you're actually
going to keep) and are just compiled 32-bits.  This saves you from a lot
of trouble.  If you set -m64 before you did those, your python problems
comes from there.

Then you better remove everything, and restart from scratch again
carefully following the guide.  The order of things is highly important!
