Hmm. Most of us don't choose the host system because of speed (those going from 32 to 64, be it SPARC, MIPS, IA64, AMD64). Let's say I've got a really nice shiny Athlon 64 4000+. I want to make a 64 bit LFS for it. Both host and target are the same. I have a 32 bit distro running on it. I still have to use cross-compiling techniques. Isn't that the situation for most users nowadays?
