Yes, it was added originally to cover that scenario, but I'm no longer "catering" to that host. When it came time to commit a few necessary changes today, I decided to leave it in since it will always force binutils and gcc to build 64-bit on pass1. As you say it is probably unnecessary even there, but at least by including it, we know without doubt that we're getting 64-bit, even on multilib hosts. Thereafter, of course, it isn't necessary at all since we'll be using our 64-bit only compiler. If you think it's better to leave it out entirely, please explain why. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
