I think this assumption (host arch == target arch) is a very big bug. It makes sense why it was so hard to track down why it would sometimes work and sometimes not work.
If I have a 64bit machine and my friend has 32bit, they have to do everything themselves, I cannot make the USB to take to their house, or if I want to make a 32bit persistent USB (since 32bit works almost everywhere on older non-EFI computers) I must be running 32bit, even if I have 64bit. :( At least we have *mkusb*, which is all I really use anyway. It is much faster (on the order of magnitudes) and is not prone to errors, or these kinds of strange bugs. -- Regards
