Hi, I noticed that the inetutils ping-localhost test fails on my system. Specifically, the ping6 fails, because it can't find ::1 (I don't even know how to properly setup ipv6). Maybe a notice about this could be added? It seems innocuous enough for ipv4 users. Unfortunately, the test suite isn't very verbose: I needed to run the script individually to see what was failing.
We need for someone to write a hint about using ipv6 on LFS. We could then incorporate it into LFS or BLFS as appropriate.
Also (but I checked after completing the build of the entire LFS), libls.sh seems to succeed with "make -j1 check", while with "make -j8 check" it _sometimes_ fails. I didn't checked this during the build, yet.
That's called a race condition. You really don't need -j8 for inetutils. The complete build and test on my system takes 38 seconds at -j1.
