Then the book should point you at a 'how to move target files from

book is an enabler for cross-lfsing, I'm not convinced that the
majority of our readers will in actual fact be cross-building their
system. I think the book will be far more readable/maintainable if it
just outlines the chroot method and points folks to various hints that
outline other methods of getting to a stage where they can build the
final part of their system on the target machine.
That said, there is a case for perhaps moving from the current
'chroot' approach to a 'reboot' approach as that will enable
32-bit->64-bit cross-builds (assuming IA64/AMD64/EMT64 whatever they
call it these days). That may make the default book immediately
useful to a larger set of people, whilst not excluding those of us
still doing host=target style builds.
Matt, that was one of the purposes of the cross-lfs was the
multi-architecture build, the reboot section is needed. I have it
working and have been making the changes. It's just at the reboot point
where there seems to be an issue.
