I didn't optimise it for a particular processor, and I think 486 is the 
default.  Since I had already built LFS, I didn't need to cross-compile.
If your existing system can compile LFS, you should be able to use its 
programs and libraries to build your CD.  I would probably use the LFS 
boot scripts, simply because the distros tend to include a lot of 
ythings not installed on the CD and you would get a lot of error messages.
