Heh, same here, though after immense amounts of pain getting obstinate packages to build I'm wondering if we should not be taking a similar route with auto{conf,make} as is taken with gentoo. ie: install multiple versions of each and use a wrapper script to drive them... Ever noticed that when you do actually need to use autofoo it is always some older version required... This probably isn't a discussion for lfs-dev though...
