thanks for the advice.

I managed to complete the multilib build  
http://clfs.org/view/git/x86_64/
with systemd-218,glibc-2.21,gcc-4.9.2,binutils-2.25
 and  it boots. However It boots  showing  3  errors

error1 :
Failed to start Create Volatile fles and directories

error2
faild to start login services

error3
shows big screen fonts only on platform with radeon GPU

--for erroor1
==============
advice would be appreciated

--for error 2
==============

,  this appears to be linked to dbus.

As I reported previously  installing systemd-218  (64bit 
( http://clfs.org/view/git/x86_64/final-system/systemd-64bit.html )
) did not seem to obey the 
--libexecdir=/usr/lib64   switch   instead stuff  seemed deposited in /usr/lib   
as long as the --prefix=/usr    was used 
and accordingly dbus ( 32bit )
( http://clfs.org/view/git/x86_64/final-system/dbus.html     )
would not build.  So I moved  systemd-218  (m32) libraries out of /usr, set 
the appropriate  $PKG_CONFIG_PATH32
and dbus ( -m32_build ) duly compiled.  The dbus 64-bit compiled using book 
insructions.   I do not know if these changes are causing error2 as the 
default is 64bit and this is as in the book.  Advice would be appreciated.

--for error 3
==============
I moved  the build to a machine with nvidiaGPU ( Nouveau driver ) and  on 
bootup small fonts result.   On a host with radeon GPU I tried moving  the 
binaries out of /lib/firmware/radeon to /lib/firmware  but it made no 
diffrence.
I also fiddled  with kernel options for  graphics  and console fonts but  
emerged  unlucky  so far. On the same host is another instance of clfs with 
sysemd-206 and it boots giving small fonts.

Advice will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely
