This update changes the default number of cores used to build
packages to 4. A section is also added to host requirements
to recommend a minumum number of cores and memory size.
And, don't recommended to "log in as lfs through a DM" anymore: if you
log in through a DM then start a terminal emulator, the first shell in
the emulator is often a non-login shell. It's not something we expect.
"log in" is a specifically defined action on UNIces. When you log in
as a user, an entry will be added into /run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp.
But when you switch to lfs with "su", this won't happen.
"man su" also describes "--login" as:
Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had
the user logged in directly.
It's "similar to" logged in, not "really" logged in.
So, don't say "log in" or the users may assume they must really log in
as lfs in a VT or DM.
In the new cross-compilation approach, the $PATH in chroot does not
contain '/tools/bin'. So "+h" is useless in chroot as the newly
installed tools always replace the temporary counterpart at the same
location.
"+h" in chapter4/settingenviron.xml is kept deliberately. Currently
$LFS/tools/bin only contains programs prefixed with
"x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-", and it's highly unlikely that any distro will
ever ship a program named with such prefix. So it may seems that we can
remove this "+h" as well. However, the situation may change in future
and we can take this oppertunity to teach the advantage and disvantage
of bash hash feature.
It was moved to chapter 4 during merged-/usr update. However the ln
commands in chapater 4 are "trivial", so move it back to chapter 5 glibc
where we start to use a "different syntactic version" of it.
