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.
I'm not suggesting that we will remove the 32-bit specifics. But we need
to say that they are not well tested.
