As long as you don't put any extra optimization flags in you should have
no problems. I've just built my 1st lfs on a virtual machine (qemu) and
it is now running on my main pc just fine. Also some pc emulators
support savestates so you can stop partway through a "make" and resume
at the same point later.
Also if you do want to do some optimizing you could always rebuild just
the cpu hungry stuff like kde etc later on the main system.
