I have a question about the pure 64bit x86_64 bit book. During the installation of grub you use the following instruction:

CC="gcc -m32 -static" ./configure --prefix=/usr

However because this is a pure 64bit build their are no 32 bit libraries or the capability for gcc to build 32 bit correct? Or am I missing something?


The pure64 stuff is new to cross-lfs, we are looking into issues with the bootloaders right now. Right now no bootloaders build properly as your report just helps me to confirm this. I hope to have a solution for x86_64, sparc, and MIPS 64 bit builds this week.

As Alexander wrote you can build lilo 64 bit, I did that succesfully about 6 months ago and have not had any problems with it.
