ld fails to look under /usr/$arch-linux-gnu/lib64

It sounds to me like you either need to extend the spec file used by gcc 
to include the relavent directory, or else define one of the 
MD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_<n> target macros.

If you want to extend the linker itself, which I do not really 
recommend, then you are going to need to edit the ld/configure.host file 
and add the directory to the definition of HOSTING_LIBS for whichever 
target you are using.

Cheers
