Most of the BLFS packages that I have built so far compile fine. Emacs
says it doesn't recognize the architecture.
Head to your favourite gentoo mirror (google for gentoo portage if you
don't have one bookmarked) and go to app-editors/emacs. Check the
21.4r1 ebuild and you will see that it runs on amd64 but has a special
amd64 patch.
Grab the patch from the files subdirectory, and you should be good to
go on multilib.
For Pure64, you will need to *remove* the last part of the patch which
affects src/s/gnu-linux.h - for some reason, emacs needs to know where
crt{1,i,n}.o are found - gentoo put them in lib64.
Maybe not quite a walk in the park, but a nice easy stroll compared to
a lot of exotic packages. Anybody building on x86_64, and to a lesser
extent on x86_64-64, really needs to become familiar with the resources
available from gentoo, and occasionally from fedora SRPMS (build cpio,
grab an rpm2cpio script, curse the cpio format and command switches ;).
Goodwill to all,
a vim user :)
