I've added your version of bc to LFS. I have one minor issue. When the
tests are run, there is no indication of the results. There is a long
list of activities, but I assume that a lack of failure notices means
success. A notice of how many tests passed and/or failed would be nice.

Hello,
I am the author of the bc that is going to be put in
(http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/4436), and it's time for
me to say that it is ready to be put in. The reason: I believe that it
is complete, so I have switched from active development to active
maintenance.
The instructions are still the same:
<<Begin instructions>>
Prepare Bc for compilation:
PREFIX=/usr CC=gcc CFLAGS="-std=c99" ./configure.sh -G -O3
The meaning of the configure options:
* PREFIX=/usr
Like --prefix in other packages.
* CC=gcc
Set the C compiler. This package defaults to c99, which doesn't exist.
* CFLAGS="-std=c99"
Sets the C standard that gcc uses to be C99.
* -G
Disables tests in the test suite that requires another bc to
generate results for.
* -O3
Enables optimization. This bc gets an order of magnitude more
performance from optimizations, and these optimizations have been
tested.
Compile the package:
make
If desired, test bc:
make test
Install the package:
make install
<<End instructions>>

bc-2.1.0.tar.xz
$ stat -c '%s %n' bc-2.1.0.tar.xz

I would be happy to help integrate this into LFS.
