The coreutils installation page (in both Chapters 5 and 6) strongly
recommends adding "DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209" to the configure
command. I've installed lfs several times over the last couple of months
without that, and never had a problem. It is possible that it may still
be needed in chapter 6 (since that is the version that will be used for
the final system, and who knows what will be installed...) but for
chapter 5 it might not be needed. Obviously some further testing should
be done to verify this (all I know is it works fine on my own system)
but I just thought I'd mention it.
And a few grammar/syntax issues...
I think all mentions of "./configure" (aside from when it tells you to
actually run that specific command) should just say "configure".
Sometimes it's actually "../[packagename-version]/configure.
In Preface #7 - Errata...
"Security warnings, and bug fixes may become available after the LFS
book has been released."
That sentence shouldn't have a comma (I presume still left over from
when the page referred to "new features").
In 2.3 "Preparing a New Partition"...
"We will create an ext2 file system, however build instructions for
other file systems can be found at..."
The comma should probably be a period, and put a comma after "however".
