Successful execution of

	chown -v lfs $LFS/lib64

does not depend on whether the machine is x86_64 or not but whether
directory "$LFS/lib64" exists or not.  That directory was already
created (or not) in ch. 4.2:

case $(uname -m) in
  x86_64) mkdir -pv $LFS/lib64 ;;
esac

So the test in ch. 4.3 should _not_ be

case $(uname -m) in ...

but rather

if [[ -d $LFS/lib64 ]]; then
	chown -v lfs $LFS/lib64
fi

Apart from that I'm not sure whether using multi-way decision-test
"case" for a one-way test is really a good choice for an educational
project.  At least not without a default case.

BTW: I think that the dot after the last digit in chapter-headings like
	4.3. Adding the LFS User
is wrong or at least quite unusual.
