As you've already found, if you are building against SVN, you are in uncharted territory. While Trac tickets and patches to the book's xml are the preferred method of delivery, notes, tips, patches, or links sent to BLFS-Dev are still very much appreciated. We need all the help we can get. If you find any more gotchas during your own trials, please, keep sending them in.
