Hey guys,

I wanted to run an issue I am having by you all since I haven't been able to find anything online about it.

I should start by saying that I am attempting to build a multilib (64-bit + 32-bit libraries) LFS system using the steps found here:

/https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/%5Bguide%5D-howto-multilib-lfs-4175649832//

So far, I have had no problems whatsoever and was successfully able to build GCC-9.2.0 with x86_64 and i386 libraries and complete the LFS portion of the build.

I've nothing on your problem, however, I wanted to note that the link you referenced is over 4 years old, though Hazel mentioned the patch at Thomas's site. Perhaps http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~thomas/multilib/index.html is better (or its source at https://io.ax.lt/LFS/lfs/book/). AFAIK, the merge process is still manual, but Thomas does a great job of keeping it fresh. It might lag behind SVN a couple of days, but for now it is up to date. If you need the source, a patch against current trunk is available (mentioned in that LQ thread) at: https://io.ax.lt/LFS/lfs/patch-multilib-SVN.diff. Also keep in mind that this is the Debian method (/lib and /lib32 with a /lib64 for standards compliance), rather than the RedHat method for multilib (/lib64 and /lib), so you can always look to Debian or Arch Linux (my goto) if you are looking for some help with building a particularly difficult package. Also in that thread is Emmet1's distro, since it uses the same, he's likely already tackled a few of them.
