Cross-compiling LFS

[Adam Luchjenbroers]

I'm looking at compiling a build of LFS for an old Pentium box I have put
together. Since my main machine is an Athlon, the binaries I build with it
always appear to be Athlon-optimized (will not run on an old Pentium)
binaries (tried it, failure).

Just need a good resource on how to cross-compile, and any LFS specific
information I might need related to cross-compiling.

There is a hint about cross-compiling, maybe in the old-hints dir,
or in the hints with bad format.

I found it here:
http://lfs.linux-matrix.net/hints/downloads/files/crosscompiling-x86.txt

I also did a cross-compilation of a LFS system once, and I used
the 'uname hack'.

Bye,

Kris

I am in the process of cross compiling via the uname hack module.
Everything seems fine to this point (CVS-20040109 Ch6 Coreutils) but I
am concerned that since lfs has a different uname, the value uname -ip
reports is different that what Fedora reports. My -m is still a i486
(as substituted) but -i and -p now shown "unknown". Will this confuse
./configure in any way?
