Hi all

I've successully build an 64-bit lfs/blfs system that also runs very
nicely and leaves next to nothing desired.
Sadly, I'm getting to the point of having to use some binary-only stuff
like skype and printer drivers that only exist in 32-bit variants,
forcing me to have some sort of multiarch support in order to run them.

I'm aware of the clfs project, but at first look, it only describes the
construction of a whole cross-compiled system, while I hope I can get
away with a little less work, like maybe only gcc,binutils,glibc and
then some additional libraries required by the programs.

Does anybody know of a description how to achieve this?

Kind regards
Tim

Could just use CLFS and leave out whichever 32-bit libraries you don't
need.

I assume there's a lot more one can leave out:
- flex
- bison
- sed
- e2fsprogs
- coreutils
- iproute2

and on and on. As I see it, you wont need any additional 32-bit programs to run 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system, even if the application calls one. So, I assume, 80 of even the basic system software stuff in clfs can be dropped. Just not really sure about which ones are really needed and how to setup the dynamic loader stuff.
