 This probably holds true for other architectures too, but it's not seen as
 much. The target triplet of the final system is determined by
 config.guess, not CLFS_TARGET. This is probably a minor misconception that
 will cause people grief if they were to try to build a i686 machine from a
 x86_64 or some similar scenario where the host architecture can execute
 the target architecture but the target architecture is not compatible with
 the host architecture. Quickest way around it is with a uname hack. Ex,
 the one at: http://cross-lfs.org/~jciccone/uname_hack-20071212.tar.bz2 .
 Or you can follow the boot method.
