I think that BLFS should just say how to build software. And I think that, in the case of GCC the BLFS instructions should use make bootstrap, becuase we can't guarantee that an identical version is being used to build it. My point is that I don't like people telling other people what to spend their money on. I always react badly to such statements on the LFS lists - sometimes I even post - as in the this case. Your post was an emotional outburst (Quote: "Geez, this is just a couple tanks of gas in my Chevy pickup these days." ) So was mine. I'm real pleased you've agreed not to make further posts on this topic.
