Whoops, I meant to send to list....To Bruce, the symlinks can be removed for both books...at least they could about a month ago.

I believe that we no longer need these, and in fact the util-linux ones were harmful later on in BLFS. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/libtool-removal/lfs-lafile-removal.svnstash was working a month or so ago. Bruce had taken over for the lafile commit and went in a different direction and these just slipped my mind as a result. It's not really a problem anymore, because they are removed at the end of LFS, but AFAIK, there is no purpose for them at this point. The build issue that they were introduced to solve has been gone for a long time (and I honestly don't think that the la files were ever necessary). If you have time, a test run with jhalfs would be appreciated. I'm moving forward with everything current right now, but can probably do another build later today or tomorrow after this one completes (currently in automake testsuite).
