Alex here are my notes come up with comparing what you have done to what the distro's have done. I'm currently researching this to add utf-8 support to Cross-LFS book..

1 - Ncurses - On locales that are not utf-8 capable, shouldn't you also build the narrowc libraries also. Ncurses in the utf-8 book should build narrowc and widec to maintain compatibiltiy with non utf-8 locales.

2 - Groff - Why not use Groff 1.19.2 without the debian patch. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2005-09/msg00004.html, with a discussion started here about utf-8. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2005-07/msg00006.html

3 - Grep Minor patch needed - http://www.openi18n.org/subgroups/utildev/patch/grep-2.5.1-i18n-0.1.patch.gz

4 - Diffutils Minor patch needed - http://www.openi18n.org/subgroups/utildev/patch/diffutils-2.8.1-i18n-0.2.patch.gz

5 - Most distro's don't use man-db - Why did you select this, Fedora uses just man. http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/man/man.spec?rev=1.37&view=auto
