For me, building LFS-6.7 and a few almost-6.7 svn versions on x86_64 was straightforward.
For the record, I'm seeing intermittent segfaults in X with both radeon r100 and r200 video cards since I moved to a newer xorg-server / radeon driver, and yes, the last thing mentioned is libc, but that doesn't necessarily mean the problem started there. In my case I suspect the radeon driver (my problem is unpredictable, sometimes I can be using X for over 12 hours without a problem, and I suspect one of the screensavers is what triggers it). A couple of times, I've left a machine compiling something, and come back to find X had crashed during the compile, but each time the next compile worked. I don't use OOo, but I have compiled that version of python, and more-recent versions of mysql, without segfaults. Care to mention what problems you had when you were building 6.7 ? There are undoubtedly still things in BLFS which don't build on x86_64, but your problem seems to be different. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
