6.1.1. About libraries
deciding which programs (and the procedures needed to do the linking) may not
even be known.

Is this correct in English? I read it as "deciding […] may not […] be known",
which sounds weird to me.

It's not precise.  I changed it to 'the relevant programs ...'


In the prcedures in Chapter 6,

Typo in "procedures".

Fixed

6.9.1. Installation of Glibc

I consistently have a FAIL in the rt/tst-mqueue5 test, but I can't
find any report
about this. Does anyone else see this?

That's a new one to me, but there are lots of reasons for an isolated failure. We give a lost of the most commonly seen failures, but the list is not exhaustive. There are about 2400 tests, so a single extra failure is probably not an issue,

6.52.1. Installation of Groff

"make -j8" fails, while "make -j1" succeeds. I think "-j1" should be added
explicitly here.

I've built it many times at -j10 without a problem. We do mention in the SBU section that if a failure occurs to try again at -j1. If I get additional reports of this failure I'll add -j1.

6.59.1. Installation of Kmod
for target in depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod; do
   ln -sv ../bin/kmod /sbin/$target
done

ln -sv kmod /bin/lsmod

Isn't the first ln of lsmod redundant? /bin/lsmod is in root's PATH anyway.

No.  As Pierre mentioned, some packages may look explicitly in /sbin.

6.67.2. Configuring Eudev
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tools/lib udevadm hwdb --update
This command needs to be run each time the hardware information is updated.

… (without the "LD_LIBRARY=/tools/lib" part, of course).

After the book is complete, yes.

6.68.2. Installation of Util-linux

Misalignment of '\'.

That's a bit picky.

I'll fix it, but the reason is that the version changed from 2.26.1 (6 characters) to 2.27 (4 characters).

8.3.1. Installation of the kernel
There are several other options that may be desired depending on the
requirements for the system. For a list of options needed for BLFS
packages, see the BLFS Index of Kernel Settings
(blfs/view//longindex.html#kernel-config-index).

Works for me.
