I have some windows with mostly composed replies that have been open and
buried behind other windows for a WHILE. :)

Rob's and others, notes in various messages, make me wonder if it's even
possible to build something like aborigonal, "as it was", today? Or have
things got too complicated to build something so "simple"?
You could always build it under a VM of an old OS version. In theory it
should still build with current tools since it starts by building an old
version of busybox and old toolchain version to build the rest with. The
question is do THOSE build with current stuff.
If you mean "will the automated Linux From Scratch 6.8 build under a
newer system", the main blocking point last time I tried it was that the
gnu packages have stupid #ifdef staircases to micromanage things like
libc versions, and they have no idea what musl is so fall off the end
into an #else error condition..
Or by "like aboriginal" do you mean mkroot...?
