The LFS/DIY build method is only meant to work on sane build hosts, ie: pure 32, pure 64, etc. No multilib, no multi-arch, no bizarro crazy arse setups. It's horses for courses dude. > One side note: CLFS works even in this "downgrade" scenario - so maybe > we should declare the LFS/DIY "native build" technique non-working and > insufficient for stable releases (because they are more than likely to > face this "downgrade" problem), and abandon it (or somehow modify it so > that it begins to work in this scenario)? Oh great, Alex is now back to his old FUD-flinging best. Jeez man, how about you stop your whining and actually explain the real problem by actually debugging it? Maybe if you stop trolling we might be able to help? I repeat, if you want to build from a not-so-simple build host then use cross compilation!
