[da23eb8]40 <para>Existing multilib distributions alter gcc to default to 32-bit
41 output. Because our gcc defaults to 64-bit, we need to pass appropriate
42 options to both the compiler and the linker. The Makefile already
43 overrides any CC and ignores LDFLAGS in favour of its own variables, so we
44 need to use the following seds for a successful compile and install.</para>

74 <para>The above patches and seds are critical in ensuring a
75 successful build. In particular, the package will appear to install
76 correctly without the second sed, but will fail to load linux,
77 requiring you to use OF or a rescue disk to boot.</para>
