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.
Thanks. I knew I could do it in Mock, but with the small number of builds
I do, it seems like overkill. If I understand you correctly, I should be
good to go, even without Mock.
Thanks again.
