One drawback is that we'd be cross-compiling every package (which we don't currently do) and some would need to be hacked a bit to get that to work. However, it can be done, and it has been done.
OK, I'm probably missing something major. Let's say you've got a really nice shiny Athlon 64 4000+. You want to get LFS onto some old Sparc box you happen to have lying around. Once you've cross-compiled the compiler in temp-tools using your AMD64, it'll have compiled binaries targeted for the Sparc processor. Now, how is your AMD64 going to execute those Sparc instructions?
