I compiled succesfully all LFS/BLFS plus all additional/optional dependencies troubless using the new-hash style and gcc-4.3.0-svn. About NVIDIA Glx: I have a NVIDIA video card so I downloaded their latest beta package, chose to extract only, modified paths to use /usr/X11R7 hierarchy and built the module manually and it compiled succesfully and works; I had only a problem months ago with a beta version which didn't compile using gcc-4.1.1. About Wine: I compiled succesfully latest version using hash style. Surely programs will not run on older Glibc versions but at the same time there some updated packages breaking compatibily with older versions. I don't call it an optimization because it is going to become the standard way. Anyway thanks for the answer.
