"As does the LFS book, this book targets Intel 32-bit architecture (IA32) systems. Although many of the package instructions in this book will work with other architectures, another project under the LFS umbrella has been set up to address issues specific to other architectures. The Cross-LFS project that is found at http://trac.cross-lfs.org/ has been set up to address the issues of multiple libraries (multilib) and installing Linux across different architectures. Current supported platforms there include IA64, PowerPC, MIPS, Sparc, and Alpha. The Cross-BLFS project, http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Main_Page, is a Wiki based effort to address architectures beyond IA32." BTW, I edited the main page of CBLFS to read: "Please don't add information from BLFS without acknowledging the source.
