  <para os="a">We will need to setup target specific flags for the compiler
  and linkers.</para>

<screen os="b"><userinput>export BUILD32="-m32"
export BUILD64="-m64"</userinput></screen>

  <para os="c">You will need to set your host target triplet for 32 bits:</para>

<screen os="d"><userinput>export LFS_TARGET32="i686-pc-linux-gnu"</userinput></screen>

  <para os="e">Let's perform a sanity check to prevent build issues. If our LFS_HOST matches our
  target, we will get some failures during our cross-compile:</para>

  echo "Host and Target can't be the same." ; fi</userinput></screen>

  <para os="g">If the above test gave you "Host and Target can't be the same", you will need to change your LFS_HOST to a
  a different target triplet:</para>
