What I have seen while reading forums and IRC chat, LFS should be
supporting ARM.
Why is the book only targeting I386 and X86_64 and nothing else?
Well, There is PiLFS (intestinate.com/pilfs
<http://intestinate.com/pilfs>) which is LFS on Raspberry Pi which in
turn is an ARM architecture. The instructions are pretty similar to
standard LFS. Kernel and bootloader instructions are a bit different
though. I tried it a while ago and it worked like a charm.
I have a modified LFS running on Rpi 3b+ (aarch64) and on a bananapro
board (arm). I use them as Wireless accesspoints and low budget servers.
Basically the modifications to LFS are not too big. Getting the
Crosscompiler ready is the biggest trouble.
If or if not LFS should support ARM(64) is not my point to make. However
a thank you to everyone at (B)LFS -- without that great book I would
have learned less, experimented less and accomplished less.
