 I don't see any problems with 7.1 (didn't try 7.0, and it's a bit
old to try now), but then I'm happy with my AMD processors.

 I'll ignore any possible copyright issues with the blfs
instructions, and tell you that the changes I needed for x86_64
multilib with 6.9 seem to be

for 32:
 in host.def add
#define LibDirName lib
#define HaveLib64 NO

 then
make CC="gcc -m32" WORLDOPTS="" World # use $BUILD32
and similarly for make install

for 64:
 in host.def add
#define LibDirName lib64
#define LibDir /usr/X11R6/lib64/X11
#define HaveLib64 YES

 and build as normal (because -m64 is the x86_64 default)

 in my case, I then removed the 32-bit fonts:
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib64/X11/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

- my script is about a year old, possibly things like where the
fonts should be have changed since then in current blfs.  Also, I
never bothered with the symlinks part of the build, which seemed
unnecessary overhead to me.  YMMV.

 Whether it is a good idea to point clfs builders to an old
unmaintained X implementation is a different matter entirely.  Your
time might be better spent asking for help on the problems you are
seeing :-)
