Building LFS with rpm requires little to no effort. All one needs is the following packages zlib, nspr, nss, popt, readline, elfutils and rpm. You DO NOT have to rebuild a single package. You are talking non-sense. perl and python are particularly difficult to get right, I was only successful when I modified how perl was installed to make it multilib compatible. Not required, Perl builds just like the book with no changes. I got bored and didn't continue, it's possible but using RPM with LFS actually increases your system maintenance, it does not decrease it. To decrease it, you would have to have a respository of packages many different people contributed to, all following some standard guidelines, and LFS does not have that. Really? More non-sense! I have used LFS with RPM for the past three years. I have a build system that I make available on github: https://github.com/baho-utot/LFS-RPM It follows the LFS book almost extactly. The only requirement is you create spec files for chapter-{6,7,8} build instructions. The only place it deviates from LFS book is moving a lot of the configuration files for the various package and creating "filesystem.spec file" for the directory installation otherwise it is almost identical to the book build. It is clear from your post don't know what you are talking about.
