I tested --keep-directory-symlink on libffi and worked perfectly.
After libffi I had installed sqlite-3.8.2 and Python-2.7.6 using
sudo bash -c "tar cf - . | (cd / ; tar xf - -h --no-same-owner)"
I compared the installed symlinks with the ones on my host lfs
and they where the same. I'm going to use --keep-directory-symlink now on.

I'm aware of that and I try to be extra carefull.
Some packages do not take care about

I'm watching the arch pkgbuilds for packages' way
of destdir installation. Of the 5 packages you mentioned
I've installed zip and unzip.
