Does this mean that I can't cross compile for my i586 on my i686 machine????
Of course you can! But how... ;)
I was looking at the LFS 7.0-cross-lfs but wasn't following it since I wanted HLFS features.
Seems we're in the same boat here. I'm running several AMD i686 with LFS, and got three i586 lying around that could be put to use. Have been looking at both the crosscompiling x86 hint and Cross-LFS, but of course that's mostly geared toward LFS and not HLFS, which I want for my firewall. I already started a normal HLFS build, as it seemed it already incorporated cross-compiling with the 'target' variable set with 'uname -m' (I think). But I'm afraid I've misunderstood. Please correct me if I'm way out of reality here.. ;)
Suggestions on the best path?
Well, probably the hard path. :) I'll try starting cross-compiling HLFS for i586 now, having to check the mentioned hint and Cross-LFS as I go, and do my best to incorporate the commands there.
I would really appreciate if you could report on your success and/or failures on this subject.
