I don't see a need to change what we do now: 32->32 and 64->64. It's really the same way we did it when transitioning from Linux 2.4 to Linux-2.6 where we required somebody else's Linux-2.6 to build the first LFS with a 2.6 kernel. > To finish, I guess no multilib is still supported. Short answer, no. The only reason I can think of to have a multilib system is to be able to run proprietary binaries that don't support 64-bit systems. What applications do you have that fit that category? To me, multilib is twice the work for very little benefit. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
