The reason I asked is that I'm making small LFS systems to have them run 'virtual' as UMLs (User Mode Linux) for various SW testing purposes. Running on a 64-bit host. Now, all LFS must be 32-bit in order to run as UML on a 64-bit machine. If not, arcane modprobe errors happen that I fear I would not have the time and perhaps nor the will to trace down. So I got the LFS kernel bit OK by using ARCH=um and SUBARCH=i386 but the binaries that makes the LFS system must also be 32-bits. Of course. Now it all makes sense <g>. So I'll use then the virtual Fedora 32-bit machine to build the LFS systems.
