Ryan's scripts and patches are in the clfs svn repo (if you don't have svn, follow the Browse Source tab from trac.cross-lfs.org through branches / biarch-consolidation / scripts), and some old tarballs are in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ryan/scripts/cross-lfs/ I've just put a bzip2'd version of his jpeg patch at http://www.kenmoffat.uklinux.net/patches/ (it's somewhat big) - needed for CC="gcc -m32", 64-bit just needs an updated config.guess and config.sub as I'm sure you've discovered. As to wrapping the -config binaries, it's painful enough to drive a man to pure64 if you don't need the 32-bit libraries. I think Ryan went to using a binary wrapper (i.e. a C program) for perl-related reasons, but I'm sure there is plenty in the links above. I guess you've read my occasional past postings in the cross-lfs and blfs-support lfs archives. I have the unpleasant feeling that I'll be revisiting multilib for ppc64 soon (just got sound working on my G5's ppc32 userspace today) So far, I've never had a usable ppc64 multilib desktop (things like firefox have been the blocker), but I've got an almost usable *old* x86_64 multilib desktop hidden away somewhere - these days that box is mostly pretending to be x86 for when I test LFS and headers.
