Whoa up a minute there!
One of the roles for my I7 is as a compiling engine, so I can carry a
build script and source package to it with "-j 8" and compile Libre
Office in a couple hours instead of a week. It has had my 7.2 cloned to
it for that purpose.
The other role is so I can play around with a "virtual data center".
So it also has CentOS-6.6-x86-64 installed on it.
Are you telling me that all I have to do is build regular LFS-7.7 on
CentOS and I'll get an x86-64 version automagically? Then I can bring
that back to my Core-2's to build BLFS, i.e. X and the like that I want
supported too?
What's the catch? ;-)

You mean no special considerations for building stuff from the 32-bit
world and having it run without glitches?
