Hmmm...the book does state that you should unset any CFLAGS variables
before compiling, since some packages don't behave well - I realise
that's not what your referring to, but the implication is that if you
choose to use non-package specified CFLAGS, your expected to be able
to provide some of your own support.
Not that it wouldn't be good to get the fixes in place, but that
shouldn't be a showstopper for book release

Thats not the experience I have here - temporary rules are created in
/dev/.udev, and correctly copied from there to the /etc/udev/rules.d
directory by the udev_retry bootscript. Or is this related to network
cards only? (my temporary rules are for cd-rom naming)
This extract is from lfs-bootscripts-20070203 udev_retry
---------------------
# From Debian: "copy the rules generated before / was mounted
# read-write":
for file in /dev/.udev/tmp-rules--*; do
dest=${file##*tmp-rules--}
[ "$dest" = '*' ] && break
cat $file >> /etc/udev/rules.d/$dest
rm -f $file
done
# Re-trigger the failed uevents in hope they will succeed now
/sbin/udevtrigger --retry-failed
