At this time=2C I've tried to build RELENG_7_1 for the i386 architecture us=
ing an amd64 machine (running RELENG_7_0 for amd64) then=2C exporting /usr/=
src and /usr/obj via NFS in read-only mode to target machines=2C I've exper=
ienced a lot of troubles trying to install both kernel and world=2C which m=
ade impossible for me to install FreeBSD on target i386 machines.
Can anyone kindly confirm that it's a supported procedure to compile FreeBS=
D for a Tier1 architecture by using another Tier1-architecture machine? May=
be I didn't understood documentation or I'm missing some essential steps in=
 the build process?

Andrew

P.S.: sorry for this cross-posting=2C but I don't have a clear understand a=
bout what list best suits my question!
