My host system is a Intel centrino running Debian 4.0, and I am trying to run through the book using i486 as the target as well (I am just trying to understand the process right now).  I am using version 1.0.0 of the book, and I am trying to follow the instructions exactly as they are written in the book.  $CLFS_HOST = i486-cross-linux-gnu, $CLFS_TARGET = i486-cross-linux-gnu.  I am having a problem when I try to run the following command on page 64 of the book:

The problem is that you're host and target triplets are the same.
CLFS_HOST is set to the proper value. CLFS_TARGET should be
i486-pc-linux-gnu. This *might* cause that problem. Restart the build
with CLFS_TARGET equal to i486-pc-linux-gnu.
