As William pointed out, we cannot assume folks are building against
LFS-DEV. In fact we should assume the opposite. That they are building
against a released version of LFS

That is a mistake. Here is the real deal. Look at utils/README in
the source tarball. You'll see this.

"After building clisp as described below, run the TL
  Build --enable-xindy CLISP=$clisp_builddir/clisp
to include xindy in the build.  It is disabled by default."

Xindy is disabled by default. That is why there is an option listed
in ./configure --help as --enable-xindy whereas almost all other
options are listed as --disable-something.

I'm not really understanding this. Are you saying that I need to add
to the configure line some options?

I don't see a need for that because it is mentioned in the "command
expanations" section about using --with-system-* and to review the
output from ./configure --help. To me, the output is much better than
anything I can do.

I do; however, appreciate your comments. I just wish I could figure
out what happened with Bruce.
