In 6.19, building coreutils the patch statement is:

If I'm reading this right, the "&&" doesn't add anything.  Is this
suppose to read

   patch -Np1 -i ../coreutils-8.23-i18n-1.patch && \
     touch Makefile.in

As it's written, it doesn't look like it makes a difference if it's
there or not, just puzzling that it's there.

Try running 'ls &&' and see what happens.  You don't need the backslash.

Actually, we generally don't use && in LFS but we use it a lot in BLFS. I'll remove it.
