So what I'm proposing is that we add a switch for resuming a build

anything like user lfs, group lfs, /tools symlink, etc.) and then start
the build fresh.
The system does not now automatically run any clean target. The -M
switch only runs `make` and that runs the target all which does not
include clean*.
Yes, I think you misunderstood me. My proposal is to add that
functionality. So that when you use jhalfs -M first 'make clean' is run,
then 'make' unless you specify --resume or some such switch.
When I first ran make, the system failed because of
020-creatingtoolsdir. If the mkdir in that target were preceeded with a
- or had a -p switch, it would not fail. If the ln in the same target
also had a leading - or had the switch -n added, it also would not fail.
Yes. What really should be done is not hard-code those chapter04
commands in jhalfs, but have them sourced and run from the scriptlets
like the rest of the book. In fact, as much as possible, jhalfs
shouldn't hard-code anything. Granted there will likely always be
work-arounds and exceptions to make the thing work, but I think we can
find another solution here besides just dropping in those first few
targets statically.
