Just LFS-7.2 with updated Firefox & OpenJDK.
But going from where I am up to pure 64, I wouldn't?
To build a 64-bit system from a 32-bit system, you have to use CLFS
techniques. It's far easier just to install something like 64-bit
Debian 8.1 temporarily and build LFS from that. From then on, you can
use your LFS system to build a more current LFS system.
Whoa up a minute there!
One of the roles for my I7 is as a compiling engine, so I can carry a
build script and source package to it with "-j 8" and compile Libre
Office in a couple hours instead of a week. It has had my 7.2 cloned to
it for that purpose.
The other role is so I can play around with a "virtual data center".
So it also has CentOS-6.6-x86-64 installed on it.
Are you telling me that all I have to do is build regular LFS-7.7 on
CentOS and I'll get an x86-64 version automagically?
Yes. But I recommend 7.8.

First paragraph. I have not run into any of the problems mentioned in the
last paragraph and although that paragraph is still probably (marginally)
valid, I really doubt you will see any problems. We removed a lot of
ancient Xorg drivers some time ago.
Then I can bring
that back to my Core-2's to build BLFS, i.e. X and the like that I want
supported too?
What's the catch? ;-)
I don't really know of any catches. About the only thing that may change
is the kernel as a new system might need different drivers.
BTW, I've been using a "Pure64" LFS system since 2009 with no
problems at all.
You mean no special considerations for building stuff from the 32-bit
world and having it run without glitches?
Yes.
