Hi Everyone.
I have a doubt. I have a AMD Turion 64 MT, and I want to install a
linux from scratch on in, but I do not know if I should use asm-i386
linux libc headers,
or asm-x86_64. When I do uname I get, among other things, i386 and
i686. By
this I guess I should use asm-i386, but I'm not sure of the
implications of this.
So, if you could _please_ help me with this, it would be great.
Thanks in advance!
For the best possible performance in 32-bit mode, use i686. If you want
to natively run everything in 64bit mode, use x86_64. For the sake of
backwards compatibility, I suggest you use i686.

This is nonsense.
At present you cannot build an AMD64 LFS system usig the LFS book. so
please do not use the x86_64 headers as iraqigeeks suggests - your
system will fail.
The only way to build a 64bit system is to cross-build one at present,
which has problems due to not least the lack of 64bit bootloaders, and
the 32bit dependencies of 32bit boot loaders.
Take a look at the cross-lfs project for more details on this.
