I was thinking just the same. I've played before with the
removed symlink from /lib64 to lib and made a symlink for
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. It worked but I think some things
failed though.
Anyway there are some package that fail to build as is on pure64
because of lib64 dirs. They install things in a lib64 dir and
then when trying to package it then search for it in the lib dir.
This includes atleast glibc and gcc, and I think xfree86 too.

It currently has 774/5192 (source) packages on it. It also
contains some packages that are arch all but those shouldn't be
there. The auto builder says: "14.91% up-to-date".
You should be able to do a cdebootstrap from it.
The only reason there isn't more on it atm is because I'm limited
in my upload speed.
