Hi all,
Years ago, I successfully built an i686 kernel using a machine running
the x86_64 distro. The kernel seemed to run fine. The only trouble I found
was when I tried to build an external module, the build failed. It turned
out that the kernel-devel package had a binary called genksyms. That was
still being built as an elf64 binary. I can no longer find that binary, so
I believe it's now OK to build all my packages for i686 and x86_64 at once
on an x86_64 machine. Is this recommended? If not, why not?
There is no problem, and take a look at mock. This is the way to go.
