Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I don't think that's really an issue very much. Even if there are problems
(such as building LFS 6.1 with a GCC4 host system) it's usually fixable
just by finding a patch. The real problems are usually just specific host
systems, not simply newer package versions. Besides, it doesn't seem
realistic to expect the user to find a host system using package versions
<= what's in the LFS book when LFS stable is over 8 months old (yes, I
know 6.1.1 is newer than that, but most package versions are unchanged
from 6.1). Adding a comment that hosts with newer versions than what's in
the stable LFS book are not "supported" puts pressure on us not to let the
current stable book get out of date (though that's probably not a bad
thing...).
