scripts: always create lib32 and lib64 symlinks

Unconditionally create the lib32 -> lib/ and lib64 -> lib/ symlinks.

This is reportedly a fix to build a toolchain for a 32-bit target on
a 'pure' 64-bit host (eg. on Fedora FC12, host libs are in lib64/,
and there is no lib -> lib64 symlink, as we can see on other distors,
as Debian). As gcc only puts static host lib in lib64/ (along with
target files in subdirs), we can safely create the symlinks.

Also note that the symlinks are summarily removed at the end
of the build.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
