It is very likely however that you don't want to install the TARGET_ARCH=amd64 binaries in the common location, as this will render your system unable to build host tools and thus can't bootstrap itself again.

Alternatively you could install gcc and binutils to a completely different prefix and set OBJFORMAT_PREFIX.  Keep in mind that the crosscompiler needs a different set of headers, so you'll likely need to change the search prefix for the headers in the compiler as well.  All of this is taken care in the build/crossworld.

Sorry to not augment my question properly. I meant when I do a make
buildworld TARGET_ARCH=amd64 with Noah's patches it creates
/usr/obj/blah/blah/ctools_i386_amd64/ directory which contains the
cross build tools. In there usr/libexec/binutils{215,217} contain the
right target tools x86_64. But in the same directory usr/bin/{as} etc.
are built for the i386 target.
