For BLFS, I'm taking the time to explore some things from the xfce stack. Apart from the few things I want to do, I hope to just get back to seeing that things still build with LFS-svn : quite surprised that (from what I build, both in and beyond BLFS) only openjade was affected by the loss of the perl4 core libs in perl-5.16.0, and only agg has been trashed by automake-1.12 (although I won't build that again - gnash still seems useless to me).

Over time, in stages (and *after* you have solved the other problem), check which modules are loaded - you can then either build them in, or leave them as modules, and try deselecting a number of the other modules, then rebuilding the kernel and retesting. > 2.
