Hi, While using LFS system I found one problem related to recommendations in ch. 6.9.2. Configuring Glibc (ch. number from devel book): it is impossible for C-application (or bash script) to track down timezone/location if original file is copied to /etc/localtime.
I would recommend to change suggestion in the book from copying to making a symbolic link, thus allowing to use readlink(3) to track down an original file: "Then create the /etc/localtime file by running: ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/<xxx> /etc/localtime" Comment might also be provided in the errata of the current book.
