Now I have a question (maybe a dumb one ?) Would it be possible to look for the target install (when available) of the makefile before running it ? (Maybe one already did it but I haven't heard of it) That would guarantee a short exec time for the script each time we run it (and we would run it often with a lfs ;-) ). If this is a possibility, but no one did it, I would be pleased to try it ...
