I agree with Ken here. when building the LFS system, you don't need to have

If a faster build time is required and test suites not of a concern, use

I know the meaning of noatime. As I already said, I didn't ask this
question because I absolutely want to use noatime while building, but
because I want to know if and why atime is a requirement.
That is if the test suites will require a filesystem with atime.
Exactly: which test suites will require atime?
I ran a full LFS build last night with the LFS partition set with
noatime. I didn't see any problems or failures. I also did not see any
build time changes exceeding the normal variation I usually see. In
fact for this build, my SBU time increased from 118 to 120 seconds.
I'll remove the mention of atime from the book.
