Comment (by ken@…):
Enjoy the issues along the way ;-) My last 64-bit build of LFS on ppc64
crapped out - I don't recall why, perhaps this would have solved it. A few
more comments follow :
I proceeded by using linux32 to build 32-bit userspace, then separate
versions of pass 1 binutils, gcc to build kgcc in /opt and always cross-
compile the kernel. At that time, loadkeys from kbd-2 wasn't working -
there was a fix for BE machines which went into kbd in approx the last
week and hopefully will fix that one.
My G5 fan-heater is a desktop single processor 1800/900MHz with only 2GB
RAM. I have _sometimes_ managed to build 32-bit recent versions of
firefox, by passing ac_add_options --target=ppc (I think that 64-bit ppc
firefox might be broken anyway, not sure), but the last time I tried it
failed to build after between 5 and 6 hours and at that time debian was
still using an old version (i.e. they hadn't fixed it either).
Summary - it will undoubtedly be an interesting journey, but well O/T for
LFS.
