You really shouldn't be trying to build cross-lfs from what it is
currently in the x86_64 book. Did you see the note at the beginning that
the book is broken? We haven't even *started* editing that one yet. (I
think it was mostly just pages from other books dumped into place as a
place-holder for that arch.) So you really can't trust that any of those
commands are correct. For one thing - the book is intended to be
multilib, so for all gcc builds, there shouldn't be a
--enable-multilib=no flag. If you really want a guide, you should look
at the sparc64 book (which is also broken, but less so) and just discard
the sparc specific flags.

Another thing is that the linux-libc-headers will need to be majorly

Sorry, for confusion, but I mean book titled i386/x64_64 not
standalone x86_64 (which I notice is *broken* :))
I currently have no plans to do multi-lib, and understand that
i386/x86_64 book in not intended for multi-lib. Moreover, I know what
to do with linux-libc-headers for it (hey, thanks to cross-lfs scripts
:)). I *do* build single-lib 64-bit system. That's what I mean
currently broken.
Thanks for point to sparc64 book, I'll look at it when I'll be ready
to build multi-lib.
Anyway. We'll let you know here when we start focusing on the x86_64
book to get the instructions right - shouldn't be much longer. Of
course, you're still welcome to try to build via the scripts - I just
don't want you to trust the current book as anywhere near accurate. :)
Scripts are good, but they are evil :), as I want *understand* what I
do first, and later automate it. It's not so easily with them, as they
contain a lot of stuff for other archs.
