this is not a bait-and-switch kind of operation. Many packages require explicit flags or additional patches to enable 64-bit support. Once the system is built, you'll have a pure 64-bit system; it will not support any 32-bit applications. A 64-bit system that supports 32-bit applications is called a multi-lib system. A multi-lib system involves building almost everything twice, once in 64-bit mode, once in 32-bit mode. Cross-LFS has some information about that. But simply digging a bigger hole and filling it with more water does not make an Olympic-sized swimming pool. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
