I read that just yesterday, but sometimes people aren't exactly clear
and interpretations can be muddled if one doesn't know what's being said
already.  I figured that could refer to CLFS or some arcane tweaks.
Then there's the "with some modifications", which casts a cloud over the
whole paragraph.

But that paragraph too casts a cloud over the 64-bit issue.  This whole
section reads "soft" to me.  There is possible confusion because 64-bit
hardware runs a 32-bit Linux system without complaint.  It doesn't have
strong positive statements, e.g. this book works for 32-bit hardware
with a 32-bit host Linux system, and also 64-bit hardware with a 64-bit
Linux system.  Yeah, I'd like to see a statement like that in there!
