If I was betting, I'd put my money on gmp. At one time I moved
configfsf.{guess,sub} to config.{guess,sub} because gmp tends to
optimize for the machine it is compiled on, but I seem to have
stopped doing that.
In recent times I have only copied an existing binary LFS to a new
system for the same brand of CPU, tuned the kernel and things like
lm_sensors, xorg.conf.d/, /etc/sysconfig and then used that to
bootstrap a native build of BLFS.
I've never paid attention to XPASS - they happen :)
BUT - as soon as you move away from what most people are using
(here, that's hard to guess, but probably mainly intel or AMD from
the last 5 years, and probably far more intel builds than AMD) then
you can expect to get new test failures.
You must have far more patience than I have to build on a VIA. Good
luck.
