Do any of you still have a 32-bit Intel system that you use to
test/run LFS?
I am thinking about rewriting the LFS preface section on architecture
to say:
The primary target architecture of LFS is the AMD/Intel x86_64
(64-bit) CPU. In addition instructions are included that allow a build
on older 32-bit Intel CPUs, but testing is not regularly done on that
architecture.
The instructions in this book are also known to work, with some
modifications, with the Power PC and ARM CPUs. ...
I would then remove the second and third paragraphs and the small
table between them.
What do you think?

I am not a member of the LFS development team but I do build
LFS on my two 32-bit Intel Pentium 4 computers, about at every
0.2 increment in version number these days. I don't have
a 64 bit computer yet. Due to the excessively long time it takes
me to build LFS, I don't know if I could be of much use in
testing. But I do rely on being able to build 32-bit LFS and
BLFS systems.
