Some user using a slow system complained (off-list) to me that the long
no-output period seemed like a hang (esp. combined with the warning
about missing re2c).
Also explain the "basic functionality test" is already done, so no need
to run "./ninja" again for testing.
This reverts commit dc8572f241.
The permission issue seems fixed upstream: after I untar the tarball
with --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions as root, all files are 644
and all directories are 755 (proven via find -type f -not -perm 644 and
find -type d -not -perm 755).

The host distro may have an insane default for root_owner and/or
root_perms in /etc/mke2fs.conf, so let's make it sane on our own. Note
that MKE2FS_CONFIG=/dev/null makes mke2fs refuse to run so we cannot
suppress the host mke2fs.conf.
I know some distros are using a different default and we are having
reports of some mysterious permission issue via lfs-support those I
highly suspect as some umask issue. Let's just explicitly set it (like
setting $LFS) to protect us from such distros without changing every
"mkdir -pv" to "install -vdm755".
The preceding commit uses <systemitem> elements to mark the lfs
user and group in commands. Unfortunately, this change the
rendering in html, because now lfs appears in an italic font.
Using <userinput remap='group'> or <userinput remap='user'> allows
parsing the XML for jhalfs, but does not change the html rendering.
I still think it's cleaner for jhalfs to just use a different user name
(for example "lfs1") if the user lfs already exists. This will allow
jhalfs to easily use a different user name.

This field was introduced with systemd-257. For development books, we'll
use "development" here, but when we do the next release we should change
this to say "stable".
This reverts commit 8f493a6377.
When I was building LFS, I somehow forgot to mount /dev/sdb7 to
/mnt/lfs on my system. I ended up chrooting into /mnt/lfs, and it was a
directory, not a filesystem.
This happens from time to time, not sure why I did it this time!
The tests that I had marked as failed no longer fail, but at the same
time, now test-namespace does. Let's undo this commit...
