There isn't much difference between -rc1 and the release, check the changelogs, but I'd not worry much. Be warned that BLFS is only just started on the process of upgrade to full lfs-6.4 compatibility. Take it slow, read the words, and be prepared to backtrack through the dependencies when things go wrong. Don't build more than you need. Keep build logs. The Xorg in BLFS right now is 7.2, but 7.4 is out and might be in the book fairly soon too. I would advise building 7.2 for experience into say, /opt/xorg7.2 for now, and then build 7.4 as soon as it's documented. Subscribe to BLFS-Dev to follow things as they develop.
