The directory exists, that's not the problem.
The issue is that it's far larger than it needs to be: we could save bandwidth and time.

Rebecca:
 BaseTools/Bin/gcc_loongarch64_unknown_linux_extdep directory should be created after Stuart build. Please confirm it. 

Thanks

主题: [edk2-devel] Reducing the size of the loongarch64 toolchain download

I noticed the BaseTools/Bin/gcc_loongarch64_unknown_linux_extdep
directory is 3.2GB. However, 2.6GB of that is from target/usr/lib64
(which includes X and Qt libraries).

Since it appears the gcc binaries are statically linked, I was wondering
if the lib and lib64 directories could be excluded from future uploads?
