I really don't have a good answer to your question, as I'm guessing you're talking about a Pure-64 build (all 64-bit libraries). However, I've built systems on x86-64 platform using multilib configurations, so normal Grub works on those builds. I've not yet built a Pure-64 system. > Also, is anyone interested in my build notes? I've noted the changes to > the 6.3 build to get a working x86-64 build. I also have the changes required to build 64-bit, except my notes are for LFS SVN as it stands right now and more geared towards multilib. I know that Jeremy already has 64bit covered in his private branch, so I suppose there is no real need for additional build notes. Unless, or course, Jeremy is interested in seeing other methods, just for comparative analysis. I would say my builds more closely resemble a Cross-LFS build than Jeremy's private branch, however, and I don't believe my multilib systems are I18n compatible at all. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 08:57:00 up 84 days, 23:45, 1 user, load average: 0.55, 0.14, 0.13 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
