Hey Dave!

 DV> most of the work was already done cuz I followed the PiLFS book
 DV> to do it

Near as I could tell it only covers 32-bit builds and not aarch64 which is what
I have been pursing as far as raspberry pi 3's are concerned.  I do have a
'working' custom microSD of my version of LFS aarch64 hacks but I jumped the
gun and based it on a gcc-7.2 realease candidate instead of waiting until the
official release and now find myself starting from the beginning, which happens
to be a slackwarearm-current which is 32-bit.

Other than the obvious PITA of learning the hard way it has been challenging
enough to keep me trying and as we speak the raspberry pi 3 here is chewing on
the equivalent of LFS's Chapter 6 installation of gcc-7.2.0.  I expect it will
take hours and won't know until tommorrow morning if it worked since it is now
bedtime.

Life is good,
Maurice
