Unzip 6.0 fails to compile under 64-bit systems with the instructions in the book

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:26:55 -0800 · :

 Trying the instructions in the book (with a LFS 6.6-rc1 base system),
using make -f unix/Makefile linux, on a 64bit Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz
system, I get stopped at the near beginning with these errors: 

 gcc -Di386   -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o crc_gcc.o crc_i386.S
crc_i386.S: Assembler messages:

Well, you can't assemble 32-bit code on Pure64 bit systems, as you can
see here. Replace linux with linux_noasm, and I got Unzip to compile.
So  that Unzip builds on Pure64 systems, I think you should replace
linux with linux_noasm, which will make Unzip compile under 64-bit
systems.
