I guess you've answered Bruce's post about your gettext problem.  To
repeat for everyone who posts here: we might be able to help when
you deviate from the book, but you definitely need to mention what
is different.  And using Arm is definitely different.

LFS systemd is not an offshoot, it is one of the two variants of x86
LFS/BLFS.

CLFS might be appropriate, I think one of their devs is using a pi
for CLFS-embedded which probably implies an x86_64 machine to build
on (AMD processors are available ;)

There was something on github about LFS on pi a while ago, i.e. not
up to date.  I guess you could fork that, but on non-x86 (or even on
32-bit x86 before CPUs which were 64-bit capable) you will hit your
own problems which those of us on mainstream platforms do not
experience.  Fun, if you have the time to do it.

At one time I played with ppc on LFS, including the (expletive
deleted - it had cache inconsistency) AmigaOne and trying to get a
2.6 kernel for that, later I played with ppc64 (BE in those days) in
CLFS.  As I say, an interesting learning experience, but it can be
far from what LFS builders encounter.
