 By "drop out" you mean, "only got this far, then stopped", or
"failed after reporting all the results ?"  The latter sounds like
normal behaviour for non-ignored errors.

 As it happens, I do still have my grep from 32-bit for LFS-7.2,
but it only reports two instances of ignored errors.

 I will also point out that 7.2 was something like 2 years ago and
few people here are likely to remember any details.  On "one
unexpected failure" I agree with Bruce : Carry on.  But two more
comments below :

 If you are following the book (and the references to /usr/local in
what you pasted make me doubt that), people _might_ be able to help
on the e2fsprogs issue.  But only if you explain the problem. Saying
it "died in a mysterious way" is not a useful error report.

 Also, you said earlier that you were using your own package
manager, or perhaps just your own scripts.  The great thing about
writing our own scripts is that when they break, we get to keep all
the pieces.  I'm sure Bruce still remembers that I had a problem in
my own scripts when we moved to a newer bison version (3.0, I guess),
and it took me _ages_ to work around it (by using a km_ namespace for
my functions, and KM_ namespace for my variables.  I never did
discover exactly _which_ function or variable caused the problem. For
me, that was a tedious and painful learning-experience, I hope you
are able to resolve your problem more swiftly.
