Comment(by bdu...@…):
I don't know of anything in lfs that actually uses the suid bit. We
install as root in Chapter 6, 7, 8. The suid bit is meaningless when you
are root.
I also don't know if a partition is mounted nodev if it makes any
difference since we mount --bind a separate partition as /dev.
The exec options is a potential issue. What distros have mount default to
noexec?
I'm not really in favor of adding extra commands for every potential thing
that could possibly go wrong in the build process. I don't suppose that
many people read the FAQ, but that would be a potential place for
something like this. If users are following instructions, they latest
they should know about a noexec partition is section 5.8 and possibly
earlier.
