Maybe you don't know about Rob Landley's mkroot project (its only url for the moment:https://github. com/landley/mkroot) but essentially, the project build gcc toolchain for a number of architecture including i486 and then, build dropbear, a musl dynamic linked libc and a 4.14 kernel able to boot on said 486, admittedly, under qemu and with 256MB of ram (real hardware didn't have that much at the time) and I just pinged them an email to their list so that some work goes intobuilding an LFS system under the that toolchain so that old and random hardware can use LFS. Alain mkroot: gcc 6.3, musl-libc git release, toybox and busybox, kernel 4.14. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
