Strange perhaps, but not unheard of. That's what gentoo does for their
sparc64 CDs. They have a 64-bit enabled kernel and everything else is
32-bit.
Hi,
It is acceptable for an installation CD to have such combination, but
not in a running/final system.
Inspired by the post, in the cross x86_64 book, we might want to
simplified the process by using
a temporary 64 bit kernel to boot into the original system, so that the
chroot option can be chosen
instead of the booting option. Of course, if the build machine did not
support x86_64 we have to
sticky to the booting option then.
BTW, is glibc-2.3.6 still unsuitable for CrossLFS book? What stops it
from being used?
