the use of the eudev package as a replacement for extracting udev from
the systemd source code. In total, 26 packages were updated and 8
packages added since the last release. Changes to the text has been made
throughout the book. The linux kernel has also been updated to version
3.16.2.
We encourage all users to read through this release of the book and test
the instructions so that we can make the final release as good as possible.

I sucessfully installed an LFS system Version 7.6-rc1 as of Monday
night, using the previous release (SVN-20140831). On Tuesday I noticed
this email, and decided to try upgrading to the latest version
(SVN-20140909). I downloaded the packages mentioned in the Changelog
(man-pages-3.72, upstream patches to gcc, linux-3.16.2,
util-linux-2.25.1, and also glibc-2.20 and its associated patch (I
double-checked the latest wget-list against the older one to find this)).
Next I recompiled the above in the order given in the LFS book, section
6. First I installed the linux-3.16.2 headers, then man-pages-3.72, then
glibc-2.20. That compiled ok, but many tests failed. I went ahead and
installed it anyway. Then I compiled gcc-4.9.1 using the new upstream
patch. It compiled ok, but the tests immediately failed with this:
WARNING: could not find 'runtest'
This is my first attempt at installing some new updates over an older
installation. Am I missing something in the above steps? Do I need to go
back and recompile a lot of stuff to get the new programs to work?
Perhaps all the way back to the beginning of section 5? Or the beginning
of section 6?
