Yes, it was overlooked by me. The thread subject was "Multi-Arch BOOK", this to me implies a different book, or a different branch of LFS. I didn't take this to mean that building LFS as we know it will become extinct. Don't get me wrong, Jim, I'm all for advanced technologies and updating the multi-arch capability. But doing so at the expense of making plain old x86 builds (probably 90+% of the user base) use a new method, one which has no less than 4 already serious pitfalls mentioned, just seems a bit out there on the edge. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 18:42:00 up 16 days, 18:15, 3 users, load average: 0.22, 0.12, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
