[Clfs-support] Concerned about triplet in 'chroot'

[Joe Ciccone]

This page is meant specificially for when you're building to a lower
architecture. Ex, your host system is a x86_64 and the target is i686.
$CLFS_TARGET no longer has any effect once you finish chapter 6. The
final system is detected with what the kernel reports through uname &
config.guess.

Sorry for my slow reply, I'm in the process or rebuilding my main
development system.
