Hello,
has anyone tried lfs 6.7 on a 64bit platform. I had great problems
with some packages from BLFS after I installed LFS 6.7. And during
the compile of 6.7 I had some problems but somehow I circumvented them.
And the system ran. But when I tried to compile Open-Office 3.2.1,
mysql 5.1.45, Python 2.6.4 and some others I had great problems,
actually I couldn't compile these packagaes and some more. GLIBC always
segfaulted on me. After trying for 2 weeks I reverted to LFS 6.6 and
everything went smoothly.
Am I the only one?

I'm worried about how you worked around the problems you had
building 6.7. 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.

This is my personal experience of course, but ...
The LFS 6.7/SVN builds on x86_64 with no problems. I can test with
little problem, though I do have to install glibc before testing will
work properly, this is probably a host system problem. libxml-2.7.5
and 2.7.6 caused quite a few problems for me, but that was related to
zlibc+x86_64 data structures. Unzip needs to be built with
linux_noasm instead of linux (because it uses x86 asm). I've done X,
Gnome, mysql, ruby, python-2.7, nginx, cups, alsa, the full gstreamer
stack (ok some media stuff did take some massaging), Boost, Firefox,
and QT4.5.
If someone would like, I could submit the instructions for Nginx and Boost.
Other than the media stuff and Unzip, nothing segfaults, and
everything compiles as is. I'm using nouveau+kms for X
