One other thing to note is that if you intend to follow the chroot
method, the final system's target triplet is not determined by
CLFS_TARGET, it's determined by config.guess which is part of
autoconf/automake. Unless you intend to boot the on the target system to
build the final system, which i'm assuming you're not going to. I would
load a uname hack that makes uname -m report i686 or i586. uname -m will
influence the output of config.guess. You can find the tarball here,

this is a kernel module that should work on all 2.6.x kernels.
