I have another one to add to your list. In adding the capability to
burn cd's and dvd's on my {,B}LFS system I have yet ran into another
one: cdrdao 1.2.2. Cdrdao 1.2.2 also refuses to build undet gcc 4.3.x
and make gives a nice error if you do so. Gentoo has again a fix from
this:http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=15167. I think I will
also upload some of the patches to the patches channel of the LFS
project.

Rick Houkes
