I mean no offense to you Gerard, but I get the feeling you said the 
above simply to keep the peace on this thread. Supporting other "fancy" 
architectures such as PPC isn't as difficult as you might think - and 
there has been many comments that adding a few other archs would 
actually draw more interest to LFS which, in turn, draws more hands for 
support.

You should take a peek at this thread:

There are interesting comments for both arguments there.
